ok...I offer my apology and hope this crazy video clip makes up for my zealousness. Any ideas what nationality the narrator is or what speed this car may be going? Cheers!

PS. Just tried the link...doesn't work from here. You have to cut and paste, but it is worth it.

He was probably only going like 40mph. The wide angle lense distorts the speed.

For my part, if I was one of the cars he nearly hit, I'd IMMEDIATELY:

1) downshift to 2nd, keeping the clutch depressed
2) redline my Box
3) pop the clutch
4) make a tire-smoking U-turn
5) chase that **************************** down [note, my first use of swearing in a forum ever, I'm so mad after seeing that video]
6) run him off the road, YES, repeat: RUN HIM OFF THE ROAD, REGARDLESS of the danger of damage to my beloved Box
7) get out and beat the living crap out of him

There might have been a mother and a child in one of the oncoming cars.

There is NO excuse for that kind of moronic behaviour.

Haha have people been talking about the Solstice here!? I hadn't noticed. I actually like the way that thing looks, amazingly. I think I like it more than the upcoming Sky. Now that Mazda has gone and broken my heart with the redesigned Miata, I have to find some other cheap roadsters to love.
