Default Magna caught doing 176km/h

I wouldn't have thought it could even get up to that speed...

Freeway hoons fined, banned from driving | Perth Now

Plus a Commodore doing 199km/h because he was late for a BBQ... He wasn't heading to Tristan's by any chance, was he? must have been some pretty special food to need to do that!

Can you imagine what the magna engine would sound like at that speed? he'd have to be flogging the shit out of it.

With the pillarless doors, they sound like you are in a wind tunnel doing 100km/h, at 176km/h the noise would have been horrendous......worst company car ever!

Magnas were awesome delivery cars when I was working at Skippers.

Also

"The fixed freeway speed camera recorded 20,000 motorists exceeding the speed limit on the Mitchell Freeway in the first five days of its use."

ka-ching!

I would have thought the Magna should have been revised down to 120 km/hr

LOL at traveling 176km/h in his Mitsubishi Magna...impossible to go more than 120 km/h in those cars....the camera is wrong
