70mph in the UK,

That would include travelling on the northbound M6?

Must have been someone else then. :-X

Not quite sure what you mean Martin. Are you saying that part of Ireland has a 100mph limit ? :-/ :o.............I seriously doubt it tbh.

One of the most endearing qualities of Southern Ireland imo, a healthy disregard for the law. :y ;D ;D

Driven from Dublin to Wexford (diverted ferry) on the Mways had trouble getting over 50 but on the A roads did manage quite a few miles of 80.

The 100 was out of Rosslaire to Wefxord the next time.

I worked out - drive a big car and use it bullyingly and you will be fine, drive timid and you will be scared.

If you have a Westfield the speed limit is related to how many bits of your car you want to weld back on when you get home, and how much padding you've got under your @rse!

Got away lightly last time. 2 spare wheel brackets and an exhaust bracket. Not even trying. ;D
