A CRANBOURNE West man has lost his hot wheels after he was caught driving dangerously more than 50km/h over the speed limit on Sunday.
Police officers saw the Holden Calais overtake another car on double lines on the Westernport Highway at Langwarrin South, about 8.45pm on 11 December.
Police clocked the car traveling at 155km/h before the car turned off the highway onto Victoria Road.
Upon searching the area, police found the car along with the driver parked behind a house on West Road.
