A fox and I had a sad meeting one night when I was travelling at 130 plus....  No time to brake, but it certainly was a Dry Blackthorn moment - held on with both hands....  Daft bu**er just sat there in the road, staring at the impending doom of a 5 series Beemer bearing down on him...  

Partner was snoring in front passenger seat and almost had kittens when old Reynard rattled his way along the underside of the car.

Brought the car to a halt and the steering wheel was almost at 90 degrees off centre when driving straight ahead.  Had to powerwash the underside before the mechanics would go anywhere near it to repair.  Fair enough, I suppose!

And the fox got second prize....

I was once a passenger in a Rover P60 on a motorway when a wheel came off a mini, disappeared under the car and wedged itself under the brake pedal.

Driver managed to steer onto the hard shoulder, and bring the car to a halt with the handbrake, from about 65 mph.

Fortunately, the motorway wasn't busy.

Frightening :o

when i was an aprentice i worked for my then  local bus company.

they used to run coaches from luton airport to victoria staion in london and back.

about once every 6 months or so, some loon on a moped doingthe knowledge would try and turn right at swiss cottage,from the left hand side of the coach.

well it was comon practice that the aprentice with the lowest grades at collage would get to clean the front of the coach once the police had finished with it.
that was a pleasent experiance,NOT

mind you .the bodshop manager was always kind enough to supply an extra bucket and some mints  ::)

Doesn't matter where you are in the world, a blow out at these speeds will instantly kill and likely to cross the central crash barrier - potentially killing more.

I think you'll find that statistically it's a 50/50 chance of going either way and so just as likely to go into the boondocks.

As for Top Gear treats, I've had quite a few kangaroos, but then they do have have a habit of not looking where they're going - particularly at night!

I used to hit little bit over 200 km/h, that would be 125 mph i think... :)

I don't think that X20XEV Caravan is capable for something faster... :) maybe just a little bit on the downhills :)

Havent realy give the CDX a top end boot yet, but I will when she is right!  8-)
But had me old 3L elite up to 147, it had a little more, but i bottled it ;D ;D ;D

The wife was infront of me at the time in hers, and she was pulling away from me at my bottling point, she recons she had it up to 152, mind she did have a few more extra tweaks then me! ;D ;D

Very very dangerous, irisponsible, and imature examples of driving on the roads! And I would knever condone such a driving style! 8-)
