This could be the plot for a movie, “Fast and Furious Canada,” or maybe “Fast and Furious, the Young and the Rich.” Police in British Columbia say they impounded $2 million worth of high-end vehicles this week after witnesses reported the 13 cars racing on a metro Vancouver highway at speeds of 125 mph (200 kph). The high-end race cars included a Ferrari, Lamborghinis, Maseratis, an Audi, an Aston Martin, Nissans and a Mercedes, according to a Royal Canadian Mounted Police press release. Two of the racers would run side-by-side to block other traffic going in their direction on the highway while the others cars would take off in a race, witnesses told the RCMP. “These drivers seemed to be looking for attention. Well, they definitely got the attention of police,” Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Lower Mainland District Regional Police Service, said in the press release. What the racers, who police said are all under age 21, won’t get is harsh punishment. “Each driver will be charged with Driving without Reasonable Consideration and receive a violation ticket with a specified penalty of $196. Additionally, these drivers will be responsible for all associated towing and storage charges,” according to the RCMP press release. That’s because police didn’t actually catch them in the act and acted only on witness accounts. They weren’t caught on radar, video or seen by a police officer, Superintendent Norm Gaumont, RCMP officer in charge of traffic enforcement for the Lower Mainland, told the Surrey Now newspaper. “I know there’s a lot of disappointment, wondering why we only charged them with an offence of $196. They fact of the matter is, we have to look at all the evidence we have and what we’re able to prove,” Surrey Now quoted Gaumont as saying. “That’s why we’ve charged them with driving without due consideration for the public.” If police were able to charge the 13 drivers with more severe offenses, they could have faced forfeiture of their vehicles, according to a Vancouver Sun report. The RCMP said most of the drivers were operating their vehicles on “N” class licenses, which means they had not yet attained full driving privileges. Only one of the drivers was the registered owner of the car they were driving, Gaumont told Surrey Now. The drivers included 12 men and one woman, according to Surrey Now. Gaumont told the paper they were on their way to have a meal when they decided to race. According to the Sun, the vehicles were: 2007 Ferrari 599 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo 2009 Audi R8 2012 Nissan GT-R 2010 Nissan GT-R 2010 Nissan GT-R 2010 Maserati Turismo 2010 Maserati Turismo 2011 Mercedes SL63 2011 Mercedes SLS 2005 Aston Martin DB9 ---

[**CBC ARTICLE**](http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2011/09/01/bc-cars-impounded.html) I have a feeling one of the Maserati kids may be a colleagues nephew who just got the car and asked my colleague to show him how to drive it. I’ll confirm whether or not that is the case here. alledgedly they are all asian kids from big money. Vancouver is full of them. Colleagues nehpew’s father owns a very large construction company in Shanghai. $250k for a car is probably 2 days of profit… meh if the cars are seized permenantly it will not inconvenience the families at all and the kids will be back in super cars by Christmas. When i went to Vancouver last time i got to see a Lamborghini Reventon in a privately owned show room off the main street that was owned by a kid in Vancouver who was not in the country very often. He just had it to boot around in when he was local ☹ The impounded cars 2007 Ferrari 599 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo 2009 Audi R8 2012 Nissan GT-R 2010 Nissan GT-R 2010 Nissan GT-R 2010 Maserati Turismo 2010 Maserati Turismo 2011 Mercedes SL63 2011 Mercedes SLS 2005 Aston Martin DB9 ---

So no one is upset that they impounded cars for offenses the officers didn’t even see? If my car was towed for “driving without due consideration for the public” a lawyer would be all over their ass. ---

> Canadian law allows the mounties to seize and sell vehicles involved in “dangerous driving” — the definitions for which includes driving 50 kilometers per hour over the speed limit. That’s what happened to two men in 2008 caught racing a Ferrari 430 and a BMW M6 in Vancouver; their cars were sold for $100,000. > RCMP Supt. Norm Gaumont told CBC that police are “going to be looking at seizing the vehicles for good,” if they can prove a dangerous driving charge. If they sell them, someone’s going to get a hell of a deal… ---
