Biker convicted over 100 metre wheelie

[quote]Mohammed Sheik, prosecuting[/quote]

Anyone sense the irony in this?

!00 metres?

For 100 feckin metres he should have gotten an award or a prize. At the very least someone should have bought him a pint.

60 is the best Ive ever managed.

Depends how many are stupid enough to get caught...

i'm sure all the other motorists were very impressed

serves him right

O'tooles law. O'toole declared Murphy to be an optimist

Well, I was let off speeding by a patrol in an umarked Volvo when I was driving in my Saab 2 weeks ago, I suspect the only reason being is that they weren't following me long enough to get their average speed check camera going - (unlike Sheffield Police who are good at sneaking up on you at night and doing you for 85)

The words of wisdom they came out with when they pulled up alongside me, were: "you wanna keep an eye on that dial in the middle of your dash, it will save you getting a load of points and a hefty fine"

 I bit my tongue as I wanted to come out with somethinng along the lines of "you're  only pissed off as your driving a grandad coloured blue Volvo while your mates in Essex are cruising round in Mitsubushi Evo's"

 I decided not too.............................................

1/4 mile wheelie or 100 yard whellie, which onedid he do?  there's quite a difference between the two. 

lets not forget the 100mph in 50 limit, its quite a salient point.

If your stupid enough to do these things in a busy place then pay the cosequences.

Aren't the new Saab's just vectra's with a saab body

Are you a hairdresser??

Perhaps it would advance your claim if you could post up Saabs recent successes in motorsport with any of their current ( say last 10 yrs)range..

I am sure Volvos succes in British, German and European Touring cars would count.. and a T5 would wipe the floor with a Saab turbo...

Coming from a presenster of a red and white Roller Skate...Irony indeed....

I'm content doing 0-60 in 5.5 and 150 top end when needed. I guess the lack of forthcoming photo's of your 4 wheels mean you drive a VOLVO. Personal choice and happy, thanks

I take it that speed isn't your thing then?

Before you come on willy waving about your car, just remember there may be 1 or 2 on here (or maybe 100 or so) who have better cars.

Did you ever hear anyone say “That picture had better be banned, because I might look at it and it might be very damaging to me”

I would sincerely hope there are! I passed comment on extracting the urine out of Grandad Volvo (light blue) which the car was. I prefer Saab, always will.

How many fighter planes have "Volvo" made? all manufactures have something to offer at the end of the day!

Originally manufacturing airplanes, the company sought ways in which to diversify its business and in the late 1940s started to manufacture automobiles. The <a href="http://null/wiki/Saab_Automobile" title="Saab Automobile">Saab Automobile</a> division was based in Trollhättan. The first car was the <a href="http://null/wiki/Saab_92001" title="Saab 92001">Saab 92001</a> on <a href="http://null/wiki/June_10" title="June 10">10 June</a> <a href="http://null/wiki/1947" title="1947">1947</a>. The company soon developed a reputation for safe and reliable automobiles, with a notable competition history.

In the late 1950s Saab ventured into the computer market with <a href="http://null/wiki/Datasaab" title="Datasaab">Datasaab</a>.[2] The company was a result partly of the need of heavy computational power for the aircraft development to make a computer that would be small enough to mount in an aeroplane as navigational equipment. During the 1960s several successful and advanced systems were developed and sold to several European countries (used in e.g. banking). The aircraft computer (CK 37) was achieved in 1971 in the <a href="http://null/wiki/Saab_Viggen" title="Saab Viggen">Viggen</a>. The now less successful company was sold off in 1975 to <a href="http://null/wiki/UNIVAC" title="UNIVAC">Sperry UNIVAC</a>, while flight computer development was kept in Saab.

In May 1965, the company name was changed to Saab AB to reflect its broad range of activities.[3] In 1968 Saab AB <a href="http://null/wiki/Merger" title="Merger">merged</a> with the <a href="http://null/wiki/Truck" title="Truck">truck</a> maker <a href="http://null/wiki/Scania_AB" title="Scania AB">Scania-Vabis</a>,[4] and between 1969 and 1995 the company was called <a href="http://null/wiki/Saab-Scania" title="Saab-Scania">Saab-Scania</a> AB. <a href="http://null/wiki/General_Motors_Corporation" title="General Motors Corporation">General Motors</a> bought 51 percent of the automobile division <a href="http://null/wiki/Saab_Automobile" title="Saab Automobile">Saab Automobile</a> in 1990, and acquired the rest a decade later.
