Biker convicted over 100 metre wheelie
Another Oxfordshire biker gets slapped by local magistrates
A BIKER who performed a quarter-mile wheelie on Oxfordshire roads was yesterday convicted of careless driving.
Witney magistrates heard how Florian Combe, 26, was travelling at speeds of up to 100mph on the dual carriageway, which has a speed limit of 50mph. The court also heard Combe was hoiking wheelies between roundabouts on April 22nd this year.
Earlier this week another Oxfordshire biker, Sandor Ferenci, was jailed for 12 weeks for pulling similar stunts on the A422 near Banbury.
Mohammed Sheik, prosecuting, said: "His vehicle sped up after leaving the Rose Hill roundabout. He pulled a wheelie which lasted about 100 yards."
The case was adjourned until November 13th.

!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.

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.

just as volvos are Mondeos...but just a wee bit less mundane did someone mention irony?

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.

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! Saab"Svenska Aeroplan AB (aktiebolaget)" (<a href="http://null/wiki/Swedish_language" title="Swedish language">Swedish</a> for "Swedish Aeroplane Limited") ( SAAB) was founded in 1937 in <a href="http://null/wiki/Trollh%C3%A4ttan" title="Trollhättan">Trollhättan</a>, [2] with the merger of SAAB and <a href="http://null/wiki/Link%C3%B6ping" title="Linköping">Linköping</a> based <a href="http://null/wiki/AB_Svenska_J%C3%A4rnv%C3%A4gsverkst%C3%A4dernas_Aeroplanavdelning" title="AB Svenska Järnvägsverkstädernas Aeroplanavdelning">ASJA</a>. [3] The headquarters moved to Linköping. The style "Saab" replaced "SAAB" around 1950. [3] 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.

Actually I drive a Skoda Octavia Vrs TDi170, its a diesel and performance wise would give your Saab a good run for its money... but its not fastest enough to start a pissing contest over..and nor is your Saab
PS why did you change the pic from a manky Saab convertible to an Aero?? forgotten what car you REALLY own??? Oh and I used to drive the red and white stripey things and they could all top 155 in police spec...and instead of '150 when needed' we did that pretty much every day

Volvo's starting to look good, enjoy  Only picture I had at work of it, that's because it is an Aero, consider pist on.

Ah, don’t be calling yourself an ass; you’re doing the right thing by somehow making that pink Saab black. The people at Saab must thank you. You are a good narcissistic person no matter what your sexual preference may be.
