Got mine up to xxxmph on a very empty A30 on the way to Cornwall  ::) ;)

By the way, shouldn't this thread be in the General Chat section :-?

When I had my Carlton 24v Gsi, I got it up to yyymph on that very same stretch of road.

Left a cosi standing.

Oh, those were the days.......

But AA.......I thought you never went above 45mph :o ;D ;D

Got in a bit of a race with a spotty rep in his BMW rep-mobile up a long hill - thats when I realised my autobox in sport mode locked out 4th. Switched off sport, got to 140 before braking (speed camera at top of hill). BMW overtook me at this point, and sped past the camera. Shame.....

(Obviously, the bit I was speeding on was private road  ::))

it's more than a little unnerving being stopped by a man driving a 911 and carrying a machine gun......  (some years ago in a slightly tweaked ;)  24V senator, clocked at 152, and still accelerating)  


in more recent times, both our V6's have been timed and clocked on the right bits of "Tarmac with dotted lines" , the Sintra at 143 and the Elite at 148.

neither showed much inclination to do any better.......  mind you both were 4 up with luggage as well.
