Ok, so we've had 'Best top speed from worst car?' and 'When did you first do the ton?'
How about spilling the beans on where/when/what in when you cracked 150mph?
For me it was on the new stretch of m/way north of Le Mans at 06:30 on the Monday after this years 24hr. In the Ultima. We actually saw 160 but my bottle went when some cars came into view ahead and approached very, very quickly!

155 in my merc S500L (electronic limiter). I don't seem to be able to remember the location, but it was 6.30am on an empty road.
195 (315kmh) to be precise in my 996tt (X50, 450bhp), 8.30am on an autobahn having just entered Germany from Holland on route to Nurburg, via Digitecs garage in Dattaln. 6,500 revs on the red line, I didn't push on to the limiter at 6,700 which using basic maths would have been a 201mph clockspeed.

Suppose you'll be doing it tomorrow as well.
Indeed!
(Everytime - as long as I got the car from my boss and traffic allows :sigh: )
Jammy Barsteward!!

(Warn the Polizei, I, next time with my merry band of PHers shall return in 2003, to the land of the free!)
You're all welcome!
(Better not tell the Polizei, because they've stopped the European Cannonball Race near the Nürburgring)
BTW: heard a spot on AFN (American Forces Network) radio, like they always send to consult their German based solidiers how to cope with life:
This time their message was, how not to kill yourself on the Autobahn - the Autobahn-speedlimits are actually not unrestricted, there is a guide-tempo for 130kph. That means they won't prosecute you, when you're faster than 130 and no other speed restriction applies.
Anyway, the radio spot started with a voice shouting
YEEEEEHAAAAH! While the moderator was talking, you heard the noise of fast travelling cars, and it finished with a brake squeak 
I think those yanks are sometimes a bit over-pedagogical
>>edited to ask: anybody understand, what I'm trying to say?
Paul you working undercover for the Police?
Been just 150mph in the cossie on track, (and rolled it at 145 on the same day, brakes failed!)
Done again just 150mph on a ZX6R (bike) on the old A12 and got caught
And been 170mph in my Ultima showing a Fireblade my rear.
Not telling were or when and found it only too easy and only backed off when I saw the speedo

You guys have the cojones of bulls! When speeding along the autobahn in the Lotus Carlton, I was told by my passenger that I was doing 170, but didn't dare look down at the speedo - my eyes were glued to the road - with caravans approaching me at almost 3 miles a minute, no way was I taking my eyes off the road!
Check your cojones at www.queendom.com/tests/minitests/fx/cajones.html
Apparently I've got major cojones when the situation calls for it. I'm pretty sure that goes for anything over 150.
