In view of the interest from a member of the scamera partnerships is taking in discussions on here, I personnally feel this is rather an inappropriate thread, and rather sets the wrong tone, I would urge anyone to 'think before they post'

Just my thoughts

I was pulled over at my car's max speed of 112mph. (Darned Japanese Restrictions) But the nice BiB said he didn't have a camera and thought I was doing around 96. Thanks BiB, there are some gud un's out there.

No, Vascar is:

Visual
Average
Speed
Computer
And
Recorder

It's basically a stopwatch, odometer and calculator rolled into one. The results are merely displayed on video.

On the way back from Le mans a couple of years ago, while on a beautiful french three lane empty motorway, I got the clock pointing at a number starting with 2 for a few seconds.

Although, knowing my speedo calibaration, it was probably -10% of that.

Crikey, I expect you were holding a few people up at 20mph...

My fastest was on the M1 at 142 mph indicated. However, it was early in December 1965, and just a couple of hours before the 70 limit was introduced. I was driving a Jag 3.8 Mk.2 overdrive with a 'D'-Type spec engine on Dunlop RS5 tyres.
Those were the days!

Took 15 miles for Mr Plod to catch up with me once, they had been flat out in their Vectra 2.5 about 6 or 7 mins. Clocked me on Vascar only after I'd slowed down. Oooops soory......

I celebrated the 60th anniversary of D-Day by reaching 180mph on a German Autobahn in my 'vette. Only just mind, then I had to press the middle pedal authoratively to slow down to "just" 110 so as not to run in to the car in front of me !

350 kph (a tad over 217 mph) on the Autostrada del Sol in a breathed-on P400 ... many, many moons ago.

Could see both fuel gauges moving!
