A wee video from todays run home from work
Discussion
The weather was strangely warm today (was 16oC when leaving work this afternoon), anyhow - after seeing the upcoming weather forecasts during the week I decided to take the Monaro to work today as it's been a while since it was out to play in weather where I can at least get some grip 
With it being mid-late afternoon there was a good bit of traffic around, but decided to put the cam onto the fixed mount anyway and show people back home that I still have the "big yin" as they haven't seen it since I moved out here last June...
Most done in the clip is 233km/h so ONLY 144mph after having just shifted up into 5th....as I say, too much traffic around to have a proper run out and let her stretch her legs properly.
MENTAL NOTE FOR NEXT TIME - secure the mount a bit better - it would appear to move about to much at times.

I think I spend more on fuel taking the local village peeps out for runs in it than I do through general driving - a lot of middle to older age people have no idea at all what it is, whereas the local kids all know it as a GTO from driving it on video games...
Great fun having 2 autobahns to travel from my house in the countryside into Aachen itself each day, 44 is always quiet around 6am when I'm on it and then the 4 is a bit busier due to the traffic from Koln and further east using that road to get through to Western Europe too...

Sounds great. My drive home doesn't get anywhere near that...
Next video down on utube is a porsche passing a yellow Monaro at speed (www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMjLwSDYj9 Lokks like the 'ro was caught unawares.

Just be aware the police moniter a lot of web sites.
But keep driving like you stole it. Not bad.
He he, at WF says, I'm living over here in Germany so all done legally on the autobahns and the camera is on a fixed mount too But keep driving like you stole it. Not bad.
Been getting the usual "only just over 140, my civic can do that" responses on some other forums, so think I'll have to take it out for a run on Sunday when the traffic's a lot lighter and at least let it stretch it's legs up into the 160's
Did another wee run out today while the roads were a bit quieter - GPS showing 274kmph (171mph), so hopefully the 4 cylinder 16v posse will now accept that the big yoke is rather fast
