Im against street racing to if you wana race go to the track but come on it was a short burst to 75. Its not like he was running through the gears doing 120.

Isn't 75MPH like 120KM/H? I hit that in my Cooper merging onto the highway, hardly a dangerous, reckless speed.

Yep this was a terrible post because we know there isn't one person out there that hasn't done this before. 1st person without sin should cast the first stone. Give me a break this obviously a stock car which is slow as hell passing a car. Whatever you guys are a whiny bunch.

Thank you. I swear everyone talks about driving their car hard but when others do it, it's "if you did that next to me and hit me I will sue you", or " do it on a track, I don't drive like that, I drive super slow and 15mph below the speed limit".

Lmao oh boy. If you don't have anything relevant to say, keep your comments to yourself, not everyone should have an opinion:-).

I didn't see a speed limit sign so maybe he was on Texas 130 which the speed limit is 85.

Where's a stone? GIVE ME A STONE!!!

I get passed by SUV's all the time and I never punch it. That's not what MINI's are made for.

You can lose traction from poo in the street, that's where the true danger lies.

Well, I have to say that I'm rather disappointed with the way some of you have reacted to my video.

I honestly thought that this forum would be more accepting of me trying to share my excitement with the progress that my car's made.

I love when people post videos of their cars, I thought you guys would enjoy it.

Ignore them. Just keep safe but have fun at the same time. As you can see these are the people that do the same but won't admit unless they drive like a 85 year old grandma on the road.

Enjoy your MINI! Next time just post it on YouTube cause I watch plenty of MINI videos on there, shoot, you might find me as well on there!

EXACTLY. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this video. Can any of you complaining honestly say you saw a speed limit sign in that footage? Did it say anything less than 75? Can any of you say you've never ONCE put the pedal all the way down while not on a racetrack? Even at the end at full throttle, he's barely creeping past the volvo in the right lane. If you don't 'approve' of the video posted, that's fine, but there's no need to bash on this guy for posting it. I know this guy, I love his car, and I love this video. I'll make damn sure not to post any of my Helenblitz footage up here for fear of you few making a scene out of the whole thing.

Keep it up Englshmn, I guess from here on just keep in on your youtube channel
