Learn the limits and handling on a circuit! Tractors don't tend to pull out of side roads on a circuit - lost friends that way before!

Yea i know..

If you go over 180 it just doesnt turn so hopefully you would jump and land back on a road somewere!!!!

I find everything shooting by, does'nt give me time to look at the speedo.....

And the increase in wind noise sounds like god is trying to tell me something "ssssshhhhhhhithead slow down"

So i do.

I had mine off the clock on the Autobahn, just a bit over 180!

Prior to that I'd had a touch over 170 during a spat with a 360....

Upto 150 is fine, anything higher and it starts to get very unsettling...

Using an Autobahn to its full potential is something I'd always wanted to do, ticked it off my list so theres no need to do it again and don't want to either, its not as much fun as you might think!

Crazy speeds are best kept confined to tracks...!

Yes, I've got a top speed on a motorway, though it's considerably less than yours.

I don't think the UK's roads are the best place for this sort of antic, for all sorts of reasons. My advice? Take it to a runway, or Germany.

The best I've had from ours was 165 on a very disserted motorway at some ung*dly hour in the morning.... At 165 it was still pulling like a train, but I saw blue lights on the other side & slowed down again.....

Planning a Germany/Europe trip in the srping to see how much faster it will go !

No the Tuscan race cars always seem so slow Rich...
