What's the fastest speed you've driven in your Omega, and what's the actual top speed of one (not on paper)?

100mph in a turbo weasel that real about 4mph over true at 30mph  :D

so that equates to a true 95 mph vs indicated 110mph, pretty rubbish, really haha.


Have done 140mph in an Astra Turbo at Milbrook, that's fastest I've ever been, in any car. (except my lessons, where it felt I was doing 100mph in town driving, but an indicated 24mph  ;D)

130 mph on the M3 towards Winchester at around 3 AM on a quiet, empty and dry road; but the unmarked Plod thoght I shouldn't have done it.
The court looked after my licence for me for 6 months and made me £159 poorer!

P.S. There was still more to go, but I chickened out.....

A mate of mine borrowed by GPS once and had great pride in showing me that it indicated a top speed of 120 MPH after a trip in his kit car.

Next week, I handed it back to him indicating 174 MPH. ;D Eventually, I confessed that it had been flown at Vne in my glider with a brisk tail wind. :D
