Probably in the straight bit where there are no houses, if you going to do it, probably one of the safer places around...

A police spokesman said: "The incident should serve to remind drivers that regardless of a car’s capabilities, excessive speed is a contributing factor in about 60 people dying on our roads each year
ban smokes and let us speed??

Only 60? I thought they kept telling us the whole road toll was due to all these people speeding everywhere.

Fuck police ping pings on juilimar rd picking people for speeding there that road is dead straight with about 6 sweeping bends and goes for 50ks with nothing but trees/forest until you get to a few k out of toodyay when it open up into farmland

60? And the road toll is allways around 250-270 and they focus so much attention to speed when there is alot more things that kill on the road

Its easy to smash out 300kph+ on that road so im surprised that he got pinged at 230 unless that was with the brakes glowing red
Article must have been updated. I know Rod. He is NEVER going to live it down.
Ever...

only 230, people are stupid if they think someone buys a ferrari to drive around slowly and pick up the shopping lol at least he took it out in the bush to do it.

hhaa thought it was blackfc's dad for a second
surely the driver would lose job or at least no longer hanve insurance to drive the cars?

If this had been in any other country the cops would have been given a test drive and the driver would be on their way. All smiles!
Ferrari? Publicity none the less!
Best thing that can happen to the California, hideously ugly

I thought I spotted a California at the Dealer late Saturday night when I drove by.
Guess this confirms it was as it was not there today.

i dont mind the look of it from some angles actually, and cant argue with the mechanical package

Can see the coppers doing a Ferris Bueller's Day Off thrash with the car.
lol, cant wait to read his review

And imagine what the article would of read like if it was a 25 year old in a modified import.
Absolute bullshit.

spot on. Im surprised they even published that.
and what happened to the increase to 28 days for first offence. luxury vehicle impound < high performance import impound. typical

s.t.i.f.t.w.

I wonder if he is going to lose his job over this incident also :) Being that he's supposedly a Motoring writer... Else he'll be sticking to track only testing for a while.

Julimar Road is fine any time of the year except July-August. Cops will be constantly around those roads are there are Targa West stages there and everybody will be out pace noting - you'd be mad to be doing those speeds there at this time of the year!

I doubt he'll lose his job. He's a very influential man in the scene, and he's got a lot of backing around the place.

All good then, it'd suck to lose your job because you were more or less safely testing a car. Seriously, if you're out in the middle of NOWHERE I really don't see what the big bloody deal is.

Did anyone notice that out of all the articles regarding his speeding they have not used the word (HOON) once
yes, Even on 6pr this morning. The presenter didn't even seem to give two shits. Yet if a young bloke is doing 150kmh in a car worth fuck all, he gets severely raped.

92.9 were running a competition today in conjunction with Troy Barbagello to give away the remaining California in WA for a day.
Apparently buzzin_rx2 won it?
organise a cruise in his honour for the day that he gets it. buuuuuuuuurn outs!

To pick up his Grandma I might add.

If it was Tony Mac, he doesn't.
He speeds all the time. Was with him today at the Prius launch, and on the record he has to make a stand, but off it, he couldn't care less.
Steve Lague from the West also lied through his teeth. All the journos in Perth are reeling as they don't get a test, as it stands.

He got to drive (apparently) a silver 612 Scaglietti, no other Californias in WA as far as I know (only over East).

Only 2 Californias, 1 here in WA the other over east.
