Perhaps the driver was trying to get upto 100mph to see if the brakes worked ok at high speeds Confused

I perhaps should take care of my actual words when speaking to the press - I think I could have been more eloquent than gobsmacked !

What still Censored me off is they still lie & say they had to drive at speed to get the fault to occur.

I could get it at nil mph, but maybe I'm gifted ! Paul

Love the last bit "Thames Valley Police declined to comment" !!

Bet they'd have bloody "commented" if the moron of a techie had wiped out an innocent pedestrian or driver whilst doing 93mph in a 60 limit!! Rolling Eyes 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

That is one of the worst excuses for speeding i have ever heard! If the police are not looking into that it is a disgrace!

The write up in the paper is spot and shows the dealership up for what it is well done for taking it this far .As for the police not commenting just about sums them up.Id try and book a test drive in one of their cars put it in manual and just keep driving with my foot down until it blew !!! "Remember its easier to say sorry than it is to get permission " especially off the Mrs !!
