In response to the 'Fastest youve been' thread, i noticed alot of people complain of unsuitable machinery for such vmax shananigans, so whats the fastest youve been in a totally unfast car? And put power figures if you know them for extra chucklevision.

I'll start it off with 116mph in a 200,000 mile-old peugeot 205 diesel that pobably didnt have many of its 59hp left.

I rolled a 1960s Husquvarna lawn tractor, if that counts.


That'll have to go in the 'unfastest crash EVER' post methinks.

Even more impressive is the fact the fiat had 2 people in at the time!

Ive just remembered the Subaru Leone 1.8 3speed auto that 2 friends and i bought while i was in NZ for a month. We managed 160kmh 3up with luggage, although 3rd was geared ridiculously high, about 60kmh/thou revs. And if you didnt have your foot down it would shift into third at 40kmh. It was a truly hilarious car. I think it did 0-60 in about 24 secs.
