Did anyone see on the news the YouTube clip of the car doing 125mph down a motorway, they showed the speedo, looked like a Omega to me.

125 used to be a bit naughty,now it gets on the news! could be the start of the liberal elite agenda to fit speed limiters to all vehicles? :o :(

if it was a 3.0l like they say, at 125, it wouldnt have been "pushed to its limits" like they say! - dont believe everything you read in the paper!  ;D

If it was a 3ltr auto in sports mode it only kicks into top gear at an indicated 128, apparently, so it cant be being pushed to its limits if it is not in top gear on a straight road  :)

[bandwagon] I of course in no way condone the actions of the driver and think it irresponsible and he/ she should be chained up and stoned to within an inch of their life etc etc etc [\bandwagon]
