In the M5, 176 with another gear to go but ran out of runway. Was easily capable of 200+ mph.... in a family estate!

I got banned for 2 years for 115 mph in a 30mph zone when I was 16. Apparently the rozzer had been following me for over 8 miles. You would have thought he would have said something earlier.......I claimed 'entrapment'....didn't wash I'm afraid

Plus 168 mph on the garmin in the QP fully loaded with luggage and two up on the Alessandria autostada and 176 in Germany 9 days ago in the Cali......too much traffic as always.

Was with my dad when he got his latest ban. Pulled over on the M6 in Cumbria, officer told him he had to do over 135mph to catch him up...my dad retorted, don't you think that was a bit bloody dangerous?
Subtle is he not...12 months ban and he deserved it.

My XFR managed 165 and I slowed down while it was still happy to go faster, despite being supposedly limited to 155. The GTS made 150mph at Brunti but others managed more - clearly my exit speed from the chicane was too low. TomTom and Maser speed readout are pretty much bang on - a difference of around 2mph at around 70 (never faster on a public road, no way at all).

Pete - your dad sounds proper old school. :smile: An old friend's father was pulled over many years ago on a Saturday night, all the family in the car. "Have you been drinking, sir?". "Of course I've been bloody drinking. I've been out to dinner." Scott free. Something big in the Masons, apparently.

175 indicated with the roof down. 174 on one of the first Kwacker ZX10Rs in the country. It did 108 in first!

160+ on some back road south of Le Mans (GSXR 750) - thought it was quick until a mate on Super Blackbird went past me
saw a video on You Tube ZZR1400 in Germany (I assume) flat out 300km/h engine on rev limiter and an Audi RS6 went past like he was stood still!
