This is why I speed!

[Alfadog]

craigcully - apparently the guy was doing 250kmph, but I don't know how true that is..

[cremmenga]

You guys I have told you time and time again I don't speed when there is any traffic within miles, i'm not risking the lives of anyone but me!!!! And I don't even speed in my Z as I have said before I have never even got to drive the z i'm restoring, I pulled the engine the week I got it!!! damn hard crowd here!!!

[cremmenga]

He is just showing his age . He is still at the age when he thinks that he is bullet proof. If he lives long enough he will come to his sences. MAYBE . He is just acting like that brat on the T V show FILTHY RICH . If you have seen the show you will know who I mean . The guy that is so full of himself that he has no reguard for others . Gary

I'm not just showing my age, i'm not trying to be a brat like the guy on tv. i'm sorry if you don't like the way I drive. think back 46 years ago when you where my age, didn't you live alittle on the edge?

38 years ago, when I was your age, the only time I drove 'on the edge' was on the strip or on the track. I was in my one and only accident at age 24, driving at a much slower rate of speed on the street than you are comtemplating. And it wasn't my fault. I got sideswiped on the freeway at 70 mph and ended up upside down. I have never had the desire to do the speeds you are talking about.

oh is that right? never on the street huh? why do i have a hard time beilving that. You aparently like to speed (on the track) so that would never tempt u to do it on a road with noone is site in miles???? i doubt that

[Fun_in_my_z]

Im young and i know im not bullit proof. Dose that mean anything?

[cremmenga]

ya you can be shot!

[ChrisA]

I dont think anybody is going to convince cremmenga not to speed. I wish the moderator would kill this thread. Its a waste.

The bottom line is this, IF you ever really get this car built (which I doubt ever happens), THEN you go out and splatter yourself all over Buffalo County, NO ONE here will really miss you.

Personally I think you're head is full of milo. And I invite you to come to Lincoln with your badass Z car and prove to me that you're not all talk. I'll even take pictures and put them up on this site for you with a big sign saying I was wrong.

Yair Bill,

It does mean something. It means that you exhibit the maturity most teens NEVER aquire. I always figured you had sense mate.

Hey there bemmerguy 714, (Didn't take the time to look up your name,.. sorry).

While your doubts were aimed at Blakey, since he and I are not only on the same side of the fence in this little conversation but also among the more MATURE members, I take your "doubts" to include me by inference.

Now, ..... whether you have doubts or not, some of us, like Blakey and me, (although I can only speak for myself), come from an age when we took RESPONSIBILITY very seriously indeed. Holding a license to control a very dangerous piece of machinery is not a right as a lot of drivers seem to believe, .... it's a responsibility.

I won't list the different license codes I've held, it's too long. Suffice to say that if it's on wheels, I've probably driven it, under just about every condition and never caused an accident. By the way, I'm 62 going on 25.

Believe it or not, I have NEVER deliberately exceeded the posted speed limit. There are occasions when I unwittingly slip over the limit but I drop back as soon as I realise it.

If and when the day ever comes that you can lay claim to as safe a driving record as mine, you can state whatever "doubts" you may have with absolute immunity from any comeback from me.

I'm STILL waiting for Chris and his speed demons to answer my question.

Rick.

Well, as I post my last response to this thread, I have nothing to prove to anyone. I stated my beliefs and if anyone choses to doubt them well that's their call. Chris A put it very well but basically said the same thing I have been saying. Cremmenga's long range pipe dream is his call. As to bemmerguy's comment, well, doubt all you wish if that floats your boat. Respond however you want to, it's your right only I won't be reading any of this utter foolishness beyond this point so I won't see your response.

Under conditions of that road in the picture, and with his experiance on that road are u kiding me? in case u havent noticed.....ITS EMPTY!!!!!!!!!! Threre is no one in site for miles!!!! obviusly if i speed iknow the conditions, roads and any hazards. YES there is always a change something might happen. true. but then there is always that change something will happen on the track as well. People who chose to speed like i do know the responsibility. I know and ive seen many pictures. Thats why when ever i do its in conditions where know one is around.

That had so many typos it wasnt evan worth reading.

I am out of this on as well
