PS my 3 year old does encourage me to speed and asks 'Why is Daddys car faster than Mummys car?'. Maybe that could generate another thread for you, entitled 'Do you speed with your kids in the car?'
My 2yo says "GO GO GO!" and "POWER!" before giggling when you boot it and the boost kicks in. Although he then he gets all disappointed when he does that in the Mondeo and I have to tell him that Daddies car doesn't have any more power. I then get informed that Daddies car needs more power! smile

Er anyway not a lot this year. Maybe as high as 71, after all there is no way I would see if the MPS is actually faster than my bike. wink

Z4M 163mph shown, but supposedly limited to 155 (strange).
Nice, I didn't think they could hit that!
Unrestricted I should imagine it will hit 170+
175 ish derestricted.

As one copper said to me once when he caught me at 103 (I was doing 125 when I saw him) on his ray gun, 'You might know what you're doing but others don't.' That was 15 years ago and has stuck with me ever since. PC? Not really, just not very clever and you'll get yours one day, hopefully before you give it to someone else.

For the benefit of the tape, I nudged 71mph (indicated) in the Sierra on the motorway.

And I got a telling off before I had got through the gate or even out of first gear, just in case I thought about exceeding the 10mph site limit! My car did stand out among all the 4x4s, though.
