Hey there-

I can verify that this guy is a COMPLETE MORON for driving the way he has. My brother-in-law owns a restaurant in Yaletown (part of Vancouver), called Brix (coincidentally used in the last 2 Porsche commercials), and we were having dinner one night when a car goes by so fast that you can't even tell what colour it was from inside the courtyard of the restaurant. My wife was out having a smoke at the street, and she described this car as whipping by like it was at the Indy.

For those of you that don't know the area, Yaletown (specifically Homer street), is a 4 lane, one way street, with parking on both sides. It was estimated by about 15 people on the street that he was easily doing 160 km/h. EVERYONE thought he should have been shot/flogged/****-kicked, as it was beyond mere "speeding"... it was death waiting to happen.

It is a very heavy pedestrian area, and he was speeding through a crosswalk.

As much as I love the car, this moron shouldn't ever be allowed to drive it.

I know Yaletown and I can't believe that anyone would be stupid enough to drive that speed with all the pedestrians around there. This guy should be locked up.

There is only 1 CGT in Vancouver, and 2 guys from a next-door pub said that was what it was (they were car nuts and were educating the people who thought it was a Ferrari), so while I don't know for sure, based on the uniqueness of the car and the Mountain Hwy. story and the similar dangerous/stupid driving patterns I saw in Yaletown, I believe it was the same guy.
