A driver put his sports car in for repair... then discovered mechanics had taken it on a 125mph joyride. The owner found out what had happened after spotting footage of their journey on an in-car computer, a Roadhawk RH-1.
When he checked the black box-style gadget it showed mechanics tearing around roads in the £30,000 Vauxhall Monaro when they were supposed to be fixing his leaky radiator.
The device recorded their speed, the terrifying view from the front of the car – which has a top speed of 185mph – and even a map pinpointing where they were.
The owner said: “The Monaro was supposed to be in my local friendly garage having a radiator leak fixed. In fact, the boys in the garage were out having fun.”
In the video a mechanic puts his foot down for a test drive on the A435 near Redditch, Worcs, and hits 125mph along narrow country lanes and in built-up areas.
Police are now investigating.
