"A motorist has been caught driving at 172mph on a rural A-road, police have said.

The man was allegedly clocked by a Pc's speed gun on a bridge over the A420 near Abingdon in Oxfordshire.

If convicted, he would become Britain's fastest speeder in a car. The current record is 156mph."

I like that he borrowed it.

It must be nice to just pick any car and GO! :driving:

A hundred and seventy two on an English country road, and he is not dead? Thats one ridiculous speed, even for a porche, sure you wouldn't do that on the Autobahn. Idiot.

It is a nice length of good dual carriageway, but even so...!

N.B. Oxfordshire is one of the least driver-friendly counties. Speed traps abound.
