This is according to a "witness" have you ever tried to judge speed of a passing car? It's really not easy.

To top it off it was a DSE, one tends not to tank it round in a DSE, mainly because it has a 0-60 of 14 seconds!

Not wishing to appear pedantic here, but the FFRR is over 2.5tons in weight and when you will it with fuel and driver/passengers you'd be better thinking of it as a 3 ton monster!  The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom

Numbers mean nowt though. People should have to push a car 100m on the flat before being given the keys. Maybe then they would appreciate what they are flinging around a bit more.

Thoughts are with the families. An awful tragedy. 2010 Disco XS TDV6, 2009 Freelander 2 GS
