What did YOU do in France (MPH)

[guysh]

Well the 360 Had an indicated 195 ish.
However in my V6 4 motion Golf I had an indicated 155 and the GPS said 149, but it was still accelerating when I came into traffic...

[rob.ellis]

guysh - was that the red 360 and the blue 4 motion? we were infront of you onto the ferry i think?? Silver 360 and silver Esprit v8-gt?

[guysh]

Yup - My Golf is Black though.

Still awaiting Noble.

Don't know about the car but the driver's a bit of alright!!

[vladd]

We got over 60 out of our double decker going downhill with the clutch in. It's supposed to only do 42 flat out.

[ultimapaul]

WELL DONE VLADD ..... I wonder how many others got that kind of percentage over and above their vehicles alleged top speed

Try a very steep hill next time .... maybe a cliff! Should manage about 120mph terminal velosity!!

andy (sixspeed), you don't happen to have a link to a quicktime movie of that clip do you? Having trouble opening .wmv files (am on a mac)

Just joined - like the video!
Took my aluminium bodied Bugatti type 35 copy (oh, OK - kitcar) down to Le Mans this year. Managed 90mph+ - can't tell exact speed reached as the car tends to shake a bit and that includes the speedo needle!

NB: Thanks to a group of Porshe drivers who came over for a chat at a service station on the way down and asked if their guess (of £200,000) at my car's value was correct! Helps the ego, but sadly not the bank account.

[ultimapaul]

Igg - You should have taken an offer ...... shall we say around the £150k mark to secure

Welcome aboard.

Im sure we saw some of you guys at Le Mans,we just about raced what ever we could find.We had a convoy of cars ranging from my 91 paxton supercharged Mustang, 96 s351 saleen mustang, pace car 98 corvette a few Camaros and a 351 ci capri dont laugh at that he has run 11.6 quaters at 130 mph and over 174mph radar tested top end or just over 1 mile inc standing start.i think the most fun i had was sitting on the bumper of a yellow ultima at what speed i dont know as speedo only goes to 140 but it will hit 116mph in 12secs my guess is 160 plus, mind you i bet his car was more stable.

[moleamol]

Impressive stuff sixspeed. But at that speed, accelerating in a TVR, why the bloody hell did you have a Spectrum loading in the background?

[john yates]

160 mph + in Chimaera 400 after that my main focus was on the road Disclaimer: For any reading this. Its all lies! all of it! i never did it, it never happened. O.K. S3TAY

I too reached the 160 mark, john. In my Tuscan, hope to beat that next year though..............

For the record, I must be dreaming again officer!

I tried several times to download the "TheFrenchR02SLO" file but I've never managed to download the whole file (only 1,6 mb)After a few minutes the download process suddenly stopped... What am I doing wrong?

cheers yves

[sixspeed]

Not sure - if you email me through my profile with your email address, I'll try sending you the video direct...

I have found that my Griffith speedo reads very high.

But with my GPS in my girlfriends lap we managed 145mph with the roof down. The Griff had lots more to give but the girlfriend did'nt want to find out!

But maybe it was just a dream officer....
