    It was on the Daily Mirror's forum - around time Khan's show first aired (Aug 2007) under heading 'What are you talking about?' posted under topic 'Scared for my son....'

    I'm intrigued as to how the police couldn't register any proof of speed. Also how did the judge come to the number 75mph.

    Either way, he is a young guy finding out what his car can do. Yes that makes him a *****. However if that is what defines a ***** then you'll find most of us are or know a *****.

    Hopefully unlike other pricks, he'll finally learn from his mistake and drive safely.

    Think the 75mph figure was by Khan's own admission in court - so once he admitted that the trial over whether he had exceeded the speed limit was effectively over.

    Hopefully, these driving offences have pricked his conscience sufficiently for him not to repeat them again!

    There's an awful lot of use of the word ***** on this thread.

    I believe it was the judge who said he went 75.

    I think speed does matter. Going 75 on the motor way is hardly bad.

    Ultimately Khan is a typical loser who drivers like a fool.

    Source was The Bolton News website who ran the story:
    "The 21 year old has bought a £58,000 Range Rover Sport V8 as a christmas present for himself".

    Muslims believe in jesus, so i doubt it would be bad form to buy a yule present for himself

    Believing in Jesus does not ensure yuletide festivities, take the Jehovah's Witnesses as an example. I believe Muslims do not celebrate Christmas for religious reasons, but some still celebrate it anyway, just like the rest of us.
    If I had enough money to buy a Range Rover Sport V8, everyday would be like Christmas. I can not imagine how much insurance he is paying for that, especially since his zebra crossing faux pas....

    well anyone who believes in god is deluded, so i think buying christmas presents for anything other than cultural reasons (i.e. religious) is madness.

    As Khan is born into western consumer culture, it is reasonable he buys christmas presents.

    On another issue, why doesn't supernatural calzaghe get stick for almost getting banned from driving as well as having nine points. He is definately old enough to know better
