Nope, not GPS at least. Somewhere pretty close though.

Nibbles' 740 is awesome, is he actually going to make a pod run this year?

I had 136 on GPS in the XJ.. it had over inflated tyres - had a lot more in it too - some nutter cut me up, maybe in protest at my recklessness.. dunno how reckless it is pulling in front of a jag doing nearly 140 at 55 in a korean 4x4 .. one thing - - Good Brakes!

I did 110 with the 1.7 once, downhill with the wind behind me

i did that in the b14 vario.

mind you, i think the gauge was bit generous.

You'll all be impressed to hear ive been carful with my glt and not gone over a tonne, yet....

Did 9* up quite a steep hill, it was a small peice of road with a centre overtaking line to get past trucks.

I have done around 100 on race track with 360.

Highest must have been around 170 with race prepped quattro on airstrip.

With french crap have hit over 100 few times when overtaking, it goes to 90 without noticing really, overtake lorry or two and push it well and it is above 100. Should not do that, but it can happen almost accidently.

Most people overtake me on motorway, though.

fastest ive ever been is 162 in my brothers m3, leave it in 5th and it bypasses the 150 restricter becayse its only set in 6th gear

awsome! what M3?

e46-grey with red leather interior, he also has an e30 325i sport mtech 1(which he likes more than his m3 says its more "fun") and mk2 and mk1 escort bit greedy really

a mk1 and mk2 escort, yes thats greedy, but i could i would!

out of them all the mk2 and thr e30 are my favorite, the e30 is such a nice car

id quite consider killing for a mk2, mint one rally spec of course. I looked at e30s when getting the glt but aviva would insure me on one
