Man hung on to stolen car at 130kph

A US man held on to the back of his sports car and rang police on his mobile phone as a thief drove off at speeds of up to 130mph.

Tony Young said he was determined to hang on to his car because it had been stolen before, but admitted he thought he was a 'goner'.

Mr Young, 35, of Swartz Creek, told reporters: "I didn't want to lose it again. That car's my pride and joy."

The car was stolen from his home, but Mr Young asked a friend to give him a lift so he could look for it, and they saw the car at a stop sign.

He challenged the driver but the car drove off. Mr Young jumped on the back of the car and held on to the spoiler.

As the car went faster and faster, Young hung on and gave police a running commentary on his phone. He says he thought he was going to die when the car turned on to a motorway.

The chase finally ended when the thief stopped the car and ran away on foot. He was caught by police about 10 minutes later.
