patmac: So when I turn up .....Don't e surprised to see me wearing a scrum cap As for the speed thing, I stopped looking cruising past 150 MPH on the Autobahn in Germany.....too usy looking ahead for slower cars
they are introducing a speedway somewhere in the States now
I am not a fast driver so only up to about 90mph although I was unfortunatly a passenger in a ford scorpio thing doing 155mph once, was not impressed with the guy driving.
Not to do with cars exactly but while kite buggying once alongside a main road I was overtaking cars that were getting pulled over for speeding in a 40mph zone. Never did find out my exact speed but was estimated at around 50mph! OK 50mph might not sound fast but when you have no brakes and steer with your feet sitting just a couple of inches above the ground it feels a lot faster.
I think a lot of people in this thread are fibbing. Another thing, most speedometers are notoriously inaccurate the faster you go. At a speedo reading of 150 MPH you're probably doing no more than 135. I've driven a true 140 MPH in an all out racecar with racing tires on a race track and I can't even imagine going that fast on a public road in a street car on street tires.
