Rev limiter kicks in at 155 mph!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
Discussion
Picture this. Going through France and averaging around 110mph (still returning 24.75 mpg!!) and I come across a couple of point of motorway that were 3 lanes wide and must be al least 3 miles long, dead straight, perfect tarmac.
The little red horn’s come out of me head, there isn’t a car on the road it’s midday, and not a cloud in the sky. Right time to see how far I can get this up to 200mph. I’ve go the car, the road conditions and I’ve been driving at 110mph for the last 35minutes so I should be acclimatised to the speed.
So right foot down up to 155 and then… “ WILL YOU BL**DLY WELL SLOW DOWN NOW, AND I MEAN NOW!!!!!!” screams the wife!
I try to explain the situation, re perfect weather etc etc etc, and promptly get told you ‘you aint doing that speed with me in the car’ so 155 it was and a very disappointed Tuscan driver.
Yes I did have the thought of dropping her off at the service station, going off to the speed then coming back to pick her up, but I value my life!!!
Hey ho
