Back to the story - it said he was unemployed - where did he get his cash from to pay the fine and get the car?

I was wondering that ....it's an A8 FFS. Drug-dealing? He had some convictions for this I think.

The car was only rented. No idea about the fine.

Edit: And it was an R8, not A8

R8 I thought? Not actually read the story.

You can pick one up second hand for £50K these days, so no problem for those on benefits 'innit?

I thought high performance cars were a basic hooman right.

Ermm, point of order. While this chap is clearly a major dick of some standing, he was driving on an empty motorway (watch the video) so all the hand-wringing talk of being ludicrously dangerous at that speed (in a car capable of a safe 200 mph, remember) is somewhat misplaced. Were he in Germany, he could be doing the same thing in traffic and nobody would bat an eyelid.

And another relevant question - how did he hire a car of that type with his record and being under 25...? Normally they won't even let you have a Transit without a clean history.
