Goafer Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) It's been a pretty big story on pretty much all of the major car forums at the moment. BBC News Article At the weekend, some delightful fuckwads climbed into a Japspeed Impreza at Santa Pod and just drove off. Being a track car, it had no security and just started on a button. A person recorded a video of it driving round the M25 a day or so later, not realizing it was stolen at the time. Someone who recognised the car saw it on YouTube and told the relevant people. And that started the massive internet manhunt for the car. Members of loads of different forums went out looking for it and the car was found earlier this week. Crazy how people get together to do this sort of thing. Kind of like an anti 4Chan. What is quite surprising is that the car has no licence plates and wasn't picked up by the Police, despite driving from Santa Pod (Northamptonish) to the M25, including several stints on the motorway itself.

The Peeps Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 The nicer, community side of the internet at its finest This kind of thing would not be possible, or at least would take a hell of a lot longer without the good ol' net.
Goafer Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 Oh and they've caught the people responsible too. Team Japspeed can't announce the full story at the moment though, so that's all that's known.
Dyson Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 They're not hacking game industries under the false pretense of being modern day robin hoods and therefore I don't care lololol --- Actually that's fucking awesome. Kudos to everyone involved.
Ashley Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Pretty cool, or at least a nice different story. Although now you've got in my head. Not that I'm really complaining.
Ellmeister Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 This forum should so do something like this. N-Europe Squad MOVE OUT!
