A drink driver raced away from cops in Preston at speeds of up to 120 miles per hour - in a dodgy motor.
Behind the wheel of a powerful Suburu vehicle, the wannabe racing driver eventually dumped his car in Penwortham.
But officers from Lancashire Police soon caught up with the boy racer and arrested him on suspicion of drink driving and dangerous driving.
