Indicated 130 on the A140 north of Diss for about five miles in a mk1 CRX 16i16 (at 03:00 going home from work).

Indicated 150 in an F355 Challenge at Snetterton, as a passenger, boo. The best sound I'd ever heard, until I got my bike.

So it was you in the Boxster S last Friday on the A14 between the A1 and Kettering?

Next time we hit 155mph and your limiter kicks in, do you mind moving over so I can continue making progress?

100 on my bike (downhill)
150 in V8S - autobahn in the wet
160+ still accelerating in Cerbie S6
150 in V70 T5 on route to LM last year
150 in TVR on route to LM year before (on rev limiter)

and the biggie ... 193.something in Cerbera4.5 (GPS Figure .. Cerbie Speedo was showing 200mph) cannot say where, but it was in the South of England (1:30am) and the car felt as if it still wanted to accelerate

Hmmmmm...127 in a 1.4 Orion...i did say no bulls**t



maybe running on 10" wheels with no recalibration?


No bullsh*t! I have the pictures to prove it. I think the onion was running uprated carbs?

140mph (GPS) in a 4.0 Chim on a long straight section of French dual carriageway in the early hours. Car felt stable, got from 130 to 140 quite smartly with more to go. Headlights too pants to see a comfortable distance ahead, so backed off after a few seconds. Didn't feel like warp drive, but 80 certainly felt like walking pace afterwards.
