    I take that's sarcasm >.>

    Having lived in Africa.. I can tell you that though roads are long and empty.. they're generally riddled with potholes everywhere :p

    We tore off the front axle of our car hitting a random hidden pothole at 60mph

    True. A well-known joke in Africa is:

    How can you tell that a driver is drunk? Because he drives in a straight line. ;)

    Having a J Arthur at 186mph is just OTT. :eyebrow:

    When I was in SA a few years ago, all the larger highways were smooth and wonderful. Much better than they are here.

    While it would be nice to be able to drive that fast from time to time, I dunno as I'd trust the roads :p
    (and I'm pretty sure military and civilian radar use completely different bands :confused:)

    How fast do you have to be to outrun a police helicopter? When I become a master criminal I need to have my get-away tactics sorted :D
    I can remember on Top Gear them trying to outrun a speed camera (you have to be going at more than 180MPH I think).

    Edit: by the looks of things it is a lot easier than I though. Depending on the police force it is only 150-160MPH. Some have better endurance than others. Sussex's has a top speed of 150 and an endurance of 1.5 Hours, but Derbyshire have one that can do 160 and has an endurance of nearly 4 hours!! Bank robbing has to happen in Sussex then.

    edit 2: Thames Valley Police share 2 of the crappy ones with 2 other forces. So this means I would have to have at least 3 get away vehicles...

    Helicopters aren't really that fast, but remember when you do your raid, you need a nice straight road any twists and the helo will keep up.

    about 110mph was the fastest ive driven (in an old astra) by that point the car was shaking and making horible sounds so i backed off.

    surely if you were trying to get away from the police you would just pull up to the nearest crowded area and run into a dense crowd?

    That would work, if you didn't want the car.

    Still,a sidewinder missile would be a serious way to pwn a speed camera. :D

    I'll also warrant that if a speed camera did "lock" onto its target, a Tornado would probably pick it up.
