Oh Man.....:thumbs:

What was the Evo quote..."nothing this side of Mclaren F1 comes close to the noise of a hard worked CSL"

Alps + Tunnels + CSL = :smt055

Friendly advice.

Remove the video from youtube asap unless you feel ok paying huge fines and possibly doing some jail time.

[Jon8710]

explain.

theres no vehicle infomation in there or whos driving it or where it is so think they might be hard pushed, unless you know somthing i dont

[0836whimper]

Maybe remove any reference to country, inc on this thread ?

Those roads look just like ones I drove in Kyrgyzstan a couple of years ago....

Well,

There is a department in CH that deals with online videos.
They will calculate the speeds you have by seeing the time you need to cover a specific distance.
The routes are well known and you could never argue/object that is not in CH.
And believe me they will find who is on the video.

Recently they got a biker from Geneva that shoot an extreme video 6 years ago and a friend put his video on youtube on 1st of April, 6 years later.
The guy will do 18 months in jail.

Just to put things in perspective.
I have to pay ~800 CHF fine because I hit a neighbors car in our private space / parking, while reversing.
That's because I was not able to control my car and hit the other guys bumper.
I was lucky not to have the license taken for 3 months...

You could always take your chances.
I thought to give the same advice I would give to a friend of mine.

Ps : an 80 yo lady hit a car with her bike. The police gave her a mega fine for not being able to handle the bike properly...
Now post high speed videos of a CSL in the alps where the limit is 50 or 80...

I am not sure I get it Mike.
A colleague from work skidded on ice a few years back and hit a tree.
He had to pay ~8k CHF for not being in control of his car and going with very high speed (he was doing 50 on a 80 limit, but there was a 10m patch of ice).

A few months back there was a multiple crash in the highway, again due to ice.
All drivers got fines for not being able to control their cars.
A police car also crashed at the scene.

My point is, one thing that is very serious here is driving.
You do something you are not supposed to do with a car, the consequences are severe (foreigners are no exception by the way).
