YES! VinWiki is back. This is the kind of tale that made me stay here almost from.the start. Great story, nobody trying to make himself the hero, entertaining and a good insight.

The car is absolutely mint especially underneath which is highly unusual to any of the performance Audi this era, Ice blasting worked. I'm sure I'll catch up with him at one of the local meets
Not all US cops are so buddy buddy. Getting caught using flashing red and blue lights and a siren is taken very seriously. It’s considered impersonating a police officer, and you would likely spend at least the night in jail.
The only reason the french made you drive over the radar detector is because you're british. A french national would just go straight to jail. Also, loved all of these fake plates haha
Great stuff, nice to see someone from UK do a C2C and a Cannonball. There is a fun driving challenge called Beat the Sun where you race the Sun across the country in the UK from Yarmouth Ness point to Lands End either on the shortest day of the year in December or the shortest night in the summer. I wonder if Tommy has done one......
12:16 Seeing a Australian BF GT-P next to the UK Audi while in America is NOT what I expected to see. Also has Tommy done any stories before? Interested to know the story of the C2C Express Jag and what he's talking about when he says he got "acquitted and got the car back".
Complete coincidence that we met Terry the Ozzy in a car park in Barstow. He noted the steering wheel was on the right and we both got very excited. Hell of a guy. Living the dream. There are some more stories in the pipeline including the Jag and the acquittal.

whats the deal with Holdens in US? Are they illegal or something? You're pumping sick amount of JDMs to the US, but Aussie creates strange aura of excitiment and mistery Seriously, you're always getting so hyped about Aussies, that first thing that I thought is "they must be illegal" Greetings from eastern europe. Theres not even a single ausie car :( p.s If we speaking about down under things- Can anyone tell me how Opel Insignia (designed as transverse engined car) Is competing in australian V8 SUPERCARS?

Tommy is talking about being acquitted from a UK Cannonball run from most northerly point in UK John O Groats in Scotland to the most southerly point to Lands End, Tommy had car seized by police and he went to court and was acquitted.
One of my dads friends did Gumball rally in a modified Audi RS4 estate they had 5 lads stacked in with loads of gear and they were overtaking Ferraris and Lamborghinis who were red lining lol
Number Plates - Le Jog is a popular charity event in the U.K. it’s from Lands End to John o Groats. The furthest two points from each other (with roads) in the U.K. it’s about 860 miles. Ish. 9:36 is how long it took someone in a silver Audi once. Hence JOG LE 936
It's 9 hours and 36 minutes, set in 2017 by Tommy Davies, ie, the bloke in this video. At the start of the video he mentions getting acquitted and getting his car back, that was the car he'd done the run in, which had been impounded.
In europe the highways are so well designed, the curves, banking all done so well that as little accidents happen as possible not as much in the states
I live in Colorado, Denver rather. We grew up skiing and both my parents refused to pull over on the way to the mountains. Yah know “we told you to go before we left!”. We always had the latest suburban for these trips (In the early days my dad would sometimes fold down the middle seats, keep the “far back” seats for when we needed to be belted in, build a bed type thing and obviously before built in TV’s, would strap a tv with the built in VHS on the center council for us to watch movies!) So they would have us climb to the “way back” behind the “far back” seats, put on pull ups and, well, go… 😂 Dad is still proud of himself for thinking of that. Mom says it was her idea. We kids say it was traumatic 😅
The UK equivalent is driving from Land's End at the south west tip of England, to John O' Groats at the top of Scotland. Distance is 841 miles and the record is 9 hours 36 minutes. Unlike Red Ball to Portofino which is almost entirely on Interstates and other limited access highways, the UK route involves a lot of narrow two lane roads.
Speaking to the cops eyes lighting up and waiting to take pictures. Not all Americans are bad people.(It's rare a cop doesn't decide to crack down on foreigners.) I worked serving the athletes during the world track event. I got to eat my dinner with them a few times. It was fun. I was genuinely interested in learning about their countries through their stories. I met a woman from Finland, I was ready to go home with her if she asked after a few conversations. It sounds so much more pleasant there than here. She was super nice too.
I done Southampton to Blackpool in 3 hours 54 minutes (262 miles) if my maths is right that's just under 75mph average in a 2007 nissan navara pick up.
Only some of our motorways. None on west side of the m27 None of the south side of the m3 for 40 miles or so, only a couple on the m4 near reading, none on the a34,a31 (not motorways obviously) I have a 50 mile commute to work and only have cameras around the city none on the open roads since m3 works ended

Le Jog is short for Lands End John o Groats. A popular charity event to run/walk/cycle. It’s under 900 m8les. 936 is time it took him in hours and minutes.
I am quite surprised he didn't sue police for damage. I mean they took good working car, they returned basically barn find with moss and growing on it and rotten tyres and rubbers and all neglected. On S5 that could easily be £10,000 worth of damage... I am just not sure how it is okey to take car in one condition and return it in different condition. I know they didn't expect to return the car, but then equally they should have stored it decently whilst the case is being tried. And even if the case went their way, then it is disservice to tax payers as well. Cars like this are being auctioned, so in this case it would have been auctioned for scrap considering it's horrible condition... and that is the difference between tax payer getting maybe £15,000 and maybe £5,000, how is that acceptable work of Police?! Even then this is absolute bottom of the barrel worst S5 in UK, better cars cost more.
Back in the 80’s I blew by a cop going 100 mph in Scotland and was pulled over after a short chat and showing them my Canadian passport and apologizing they let me go. I guess things have changed.
I disagree about police in Europe, I was stationed in Italy for five years. I got pulled over/stopped numerous times heavily exceeding the speed limit and never once got a fine. One of my favorite stories, I was going about 200/210kph on the Autostrada in my shitty (but pretty) 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe (very rare to see in Italy and most wouldn’t know what the car was). I accidentally passed a police I didn’t see hidden in front of a semi truck, once I noticed I slowed down a bit and saw the blue lights coming up on me and thought I was screwed. The officers did pull me over, the only things they said were please slow down, and proceeded to ask about the car that had numerous modifications that were illegal in the country. After which they said have a nice day and let me go.
I'm scrolling TH-cam then saw the title A British Cannonball Attempt that made stay. wow Awesome Cannonball story. Love it. it's a dream to race the cannonball one day.

The way he talks about UK Cops is clearly based off his own personal experiences. I've never had issues with them. Got pulled over for launching from a set of lights up to 85 in a 40. Pulled over, turned the car off, sunk my face and let him know he was absolutely right and that I was being an idiot. He was telling me about how if he was to give me anything it would be a court summons, he was telling me about how I was dangerously undertaking (nobody was infront of me), but just go along with it, let them know they're right. Told him I'd never done it before (I do it everytime I'm at those lights). Got off with a verbal warning. Plenty of clips online too of cops just being decent blokes even to those who are in pretty serious situations.

It's the first time I've seen one in the US as well. Guessing it was a personal import or was there for an event as some Australian guys will get their cars over there for stuff like Drag Week. Though I'll admit it's the first time I've seen a later model Falcon. Amusing that it's a GT-P as opposed to an F6 though.
@@LimitR Yeah, but I vividly know that the if a certain car that younger than 25 years old and its in America for an event, they would not get a number plate, thats unless they did what the Holden owner did that was featured on VinWiki a while back. Nevertheless, its still cool to see a Falcon in the states.
It's on a visitor permit, he's on tour
@@kingcountrytowing Okay that makes a lot more sense, thanks for the clarification
@forzahorizonclips9551 no worries at all, I was talking to Tommy about it the other day, they met after the run
Didn’t take any Inspiration from Alex Roy…. Or Greg Davies for that matter 😂😂

No mention of how lucky it was not to get thrown in prison for unauthorized use of emergency lights & sirens?

Sorry to go off topic here. But what's the song in title?
I wouldn't use reds or blues here in the states. That's impersonation of a police officer. Definitely a big felony.
No idea if you ever Finished one story. Where you were and what time. What year it was ever.
