sO I repeat myself again... there are more ways to stall and coast than to put it into neutral.

1981. My buddy started the business, and I should have gone into that business, because now he is wealthy.

I can't believe that you know-it-alls don't know that you can drive without the power steering.

a simple driving class to a chauffeur...and how does that have anything to do with driving at highspeeds? dude, you got caught in a lie and we are the fools? riiiggghhhttt..Rolling Eyes Laughing

Wouldnt a driving class discourage you from highspeed driving, especially if has to do with chauffeuring? or let me guess, it was a stunt driving class so you could do some flashy shit while chauffeuring..? Laughing

Learn how to read, it is about driving without the PS, and yes, at high speed. On a track with water and cones. Sorry if you never had any driving classes. Go to Las Vegas and do some.

again, you display your over sensitivity...its not my fault you fucked up your own lie...seriously. Why bother responding?

See, your not 46...least I would wager a week's pay against it.
And if you are, man, you are the most immature, over 40 guy I have EVER met. You act so childish, its ridiculous. Even the most rigid of people on here admit, from time to time, when they are wrong about something or when they get caught talkin shit - myself included.
So whats your hang up? Are you some lonely old dude man and just bitter about everything? or are you a 15 year old punk who tries to play stuff off like he actually knows what hes talking about?

Seriously, I want to know/figure out the source of your complete ignorance and childish behaviour.

Yes you can drive without powersteering but it's painful. I don't know how many of you follow WRC but powersteering failure in WRC is one of the worst scenarios for the driver. I remember Gronholm lost the powersteering couple of times last year with his Peugeot (btw WRC cars are way lighter than regular cars especially BMWs Wink ) and after 20 Km (13 miles) he was so wasted and his arms did hurt for the rest of the day so badly that he couldn't drive any decent times that day. And WRC drivers are fit! Secondy a WRC car does not go 130 mphs though there is lots of hand work involved to get though the corners and the roads aren't so smooth either. Anyway, I think this guy had to do lots and lots of twists and turns to avoid the traffic. So I think if he had killed the engine and the power steering he woud have gone off the road after the first zig-zag doing 130mph and maybe taking other cars with him.

Anyway, I dont want this happen to me and even to my enemies.

Shift the car into neutral


Turn the key one notch to kill the engine. You will lose power steering and power-assisted brakes but you will still be able to control the car

But that car he was in cant do 130mph Wink


also, WRC Drivers Drive for Miles and having no Powersteering for miles would be hard.... BUT He would only have had to do it for about 10 - 20 seconds Wink

Funny Thing is, How would it make it "More Dangerous" if you lost Power Steering??? At High speeds like that on a motorway you would easilly be able to control it just as well without the power steering Smile

most new cars reduce power steering assistance the faster you go, if brakes had already overheated then whats the use of having the engine on duh. still i bet was pretty scary knowing you don't have much control over going and stopping.

as for the actual speed he was doing have you considered that the a1 isn't perfectly flat? it's also the scariest road/motorway i've ever been on, even with a fully functioning car

the guy said he looked at the speedo and it said 120 or 130mph.

someone early posted saying the car had a top speed of 126. its likely he hit around 120.

also there was a time when power steering didnt exist and cars still did 100mph+ Laughing

well well... its not the first time i heard problems with the brand new german top cars.
i know a guy who bought his topline mercedes and 3 weeks later as he wanted to go to office like every normal day, the car didn't "wanted" to open the doors.

solution: the only way to turn the car open was in a local mercedes plant by nearly dissmanteling it.

i don't change my old mustang Very Happy
