Unsurprisingly the Monty speedo is slightly out, it was showing between 125-130 along what I assume was the main run way, (the first long straight of the lap before all the twisties) at one point it seemed to be doing the same speed as some of the Elises, I wondered what kind of speed they hit along there

Nothing wrong with 131mph magpie! I think its an achievement

The Monty no tax now (plus it would be silly to speed on the public highway!), and with proper 'timing/measuring' gear how am I supposed to know what it got, their top speed when new was suppposed to be 126mph and the speedo got to be out - it does have a slight wobble but was defo 120mph+ people have laughed at the idea that it managed 130mph.

So having no idea what it really could've reached, I'm sure a couple of Elises weren't pulling away a couple of times and thought maybe I could gauge it by what they were doing at the time!
