    Car repair company took motorist's BMW for a 92mph drive...

    - Gary Brown, 40, fitted a tracking device to his car which records the speed
    - Garage worker who collected the BMW was recorded speeding on the M4 in Reading, Berkshire
    - Tracker sends a text message every time the vehicle breaks the speed limit

    92mph is nothing on a motorway to be fair.
    Any background info? Very hard for me to side with the owner.

    My bad link attached - My opinion still stands

    It was later doing 33 in a 30 Shocking

    what a sneaky fucker, he set him up nicely, what connections does he have with the tracking company, the speed was low enough considering the car.

    pads were probably good for another 5000 miles too

    if i gave my car to a repair company i would expect at the very minimum for them to drive within the speed limit

    The previous record holder mentioned (156mph) was in a CSL AFAIK. Suspect it had the limiter still place

    I'd rather pay the premium and drive how I want rather than be monitored
