I was just wondering where do you find all these private roads to test the top speed of your vehicle???

I'd be interested, how many of you own the M40, M5 etc

Was that the sort of thing you were expecting
Sounded like a good day

I don't know how fast mine goes . Since you pay to use the M6 toll road does that not give you part ownership? Or at least short term rental

03 WRX - Indicated 160mph - so probably more like a genuine 150+mph ...

Yes it is a 70 limit... I doubt my excuse would work, but it us morally correct to go down it as fast as you can

My dial has MPH at the bottom... went to the H which if the dial went on would be around 163mph

Only done for mapping purposes, i dont see the point of doing it too often, its far too dangerous for the buzz it gives you.

The German Autobahn 150mph on 100 RON V-Power then got roasted by a Porker GT3. It was fun though. Annoys the restricted BM's and Audi's though.

Max 10% error, so at the very worst you could take 15mph off at 150, mine is about 5mph out at an indicated 120 which I thought was quite good

147 in my old MY98 UK turbo with full de-cat on the motorway. My new STI with TSL 333 will be capable of much more however now that I have reached my thirties, I have gone all boring. The most my new one has seen is about 135 - on a B-road though................. To be honest, I try to keep it under 100 at all times. Crash over (or under that) and you woule be a gonner.

This is a very irresponsible thread. SN members seem to have been goaded into going out and trying to top everyone else's speed.

It's going to end in tears, I tell thee.
