[Marks DTM Calib]

I guess the fastest for me was 186mph in an F-Type, on the test track

[biggriffin]

Had the Monaro into three figures three times. Last one was 120 without realising it was there

On a private road of course.

If looked after theres no reason (other than bad luck) it shouldn't be up to that job.

Lack of affordable spares?

Plan for March is ATF and filter and new exhaust.
December will be another cam belt.

Can't say as I've ever done a 0-60 sprint and only once gone for "I'll see how fast I dare take it" and bottled it before getting near to the cars top speed!

Once on an Autobahn I took a Volvo 960 up to 142 ish (MPH not KPH) mainly to scare the shit out of the passenger. I did bottle it and backed off. Not sure there was much left. Never felt an urge to do it again.

I might have once pissed off an M3 driver by overtaking him on a downhill section.  He had a limiter, I didn't.  He had the last laugh though, as the road levelled out I ran out of steam a bit, and he slowly crept past.

I've never been over 70mph, I would imagine it gets quite scary.

In the right car, on the right road, in the right weather conditions twice that does not feel scarey.

I've been a passenger in a mad German's Audi 100 Quattro at 120 mph, in the rain and dark, and have never felt more afraid. After having our multiple requests to slow down ignored, our recommendation on buying his software for Lucas Industries was "Don't buy" which was a shame because it was going to be "Do buy"

Ah yes, you got to go on all the Driver Awareness Courses for driving too slowly....

Perhaps his 70mph was in a 30 zone.

That's because, like me, you are a reformed character

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I have also always been too scared to exceed 70mph. We all know that speed kills and the Govt. have told us the maximum we can travel at is 70, so Ive always assumed that any speed over 70 is the speed at which you will automatically die.

[Raeturbo]

Yes,  I agree Greta👍

[New POD]

Speed does not kill.
Large trees appearing from nowhere kill.
Large lumps if metal hitting each other with people inside them kills.
Speed ? That's just a measurement of how much it's going to hurt should a tree or other object arrive in front of you without you knowing.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

No, no your so wrong. Ive seen it on TV, in the newspapers, all over the place. SPEED KILLS. They wouldn't lie to us about that sort of thing. I mean, if they were lying about that, god knows what else they would lie to us about. We would be in some kind of Orwellian nightmare without even knowing about it.

[Raeturbo]

Speed saves

70mph is quite fast enough in a 451 Smart when it's windy
