A Sydney man has been charged with driving at more than 260 kilometres an hour in a car held together by cable ties.

Police were conducting radar checks at Mittagong in the NSW southern highlands last night when they spotted the white 1995 Nissan 200SX turbo.

They clocked the car at 263 km/h in a 110 km/h zone along the Hume Highway.

Upon inspection it was found the vehicle had a number of defects. The body kit was held on by cable ties, there were no back seats, the dashboard was not secured and the battery was fastened with a rag.

Police allege the 21-year-old male driver had spent the day at a race track.

He has been charged with dangerous driving and has been issued a defect notice for his car.

This may be the best chance the cable tie company ever has to promote it's product. No matter what anybody thinks about the bloke behind the wheel - there can be no denying that at 263 clicks, these cable ties passed the "stress test'. Did he have a Volvo crash dummy in the passenger seat ?

i know this guy personally. Its bulls**t the bodykit was cabletied. The cableties are used to hold cracks, nothing more. Sure he was speeding excessively, and there is no denying that, but most of our hi-performance cars are alot safer than the average commodore or falcon. Why must we as import drivers get picked on by police, shouldnt they be getting the people actually doing wrong. These cars turn better and stop better, its the low performance drivers who give import drivers the 'hoon' status. The people who dont think about their actions on the road, and the risks it brings towards innocent people who all too often turn into the victims. The police should open their eyes to the bigger picture, not just pull us over and defect us for our 'pod filters' and ' 17 or 18 inch wheels, i can drive a commodore or falcon with 20inch wheels and not get a 2nd glimpse, but just a standard import is bound to get pulled over.
