Careful what you upload to Youtube dear speed freaks, it might cost you your license or you might even end up spending a few days behind bars.
A friend of the driver uploaded this spectacular run in a very rare and expensive Aston Martin V12 Vantage Carbon Black Edition. At one point, the powerful car reaches 292 km/h (181 mph) on the E17 highway in Belgium.

It’s all fun and games, but the authorities caught on to the driver’s shenanigans and gave him a 30 month ban from driving in Belgium plus a €4,400 fine. After that, Erik Paris, the owner of the Aston, reportedly sold the car.

It’s a good thing too, because the maximum ban in Belgium is 5 years. Time to buy an econobox!

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
