This thread is made of win and fail, in equal measures.
Awesome
How fantastic is the internet
It gets better and Aruffell isn't even here
What about carburettors stuffed with Dilithium crystals? Would that do the biz?
I made him a serious suggestion in the first reply in this thread.
What a thread, read it all, why do people dig and dig and dig.
So not only did he said he had it off the speed on a track he admits to driving above 100+ on the motorway, I know the police are clamping down on people putting up vids of driving at dangerous speeds, wonder if he would stand up in court and claim his car could do 152 mph.
What a little **** needs some growing up to do.

Becuase it results in cast iron comedy gold. Can't beleive I missed him saying he regularly drives down the motorway with it 'off the clock' though
either way, viper to the power of two, no one can drive little french cars at that speed because they are simply not capable of such feats
I think it is possible. I'm sure professional drivers can but doubt they can reach such speeds while taking a photo of the speedo.
Can email Navman here -
If you want to tell them that their sat nav is inaccurate
Andy
Navman is very unacurate, my dad had one:
Speedo: 130kph
Navman F20: 134 kph
Garmin nuvi 250w: 121kph.

I've got no doubt in my mind a modded 106 gti will show 140mph on the clocks. You also wouldn't be 'fighting with the steering wheel' to keep it in a straight line either. What nonsense! At that speed, taking a pic whilst being a little careless, is entirely possible.
What is a little far fetched is the satnav claim - 152 mph?....... just no.

Just a thought, could we have an OCUK motors sticky with links to an archive of all the threads where the OP has proven Leg End status? Like the guy who was bragging about his rich dad in need of a £60k diesel, aruffel and anyone else who has claimed to have an amazing car (without bread).
What about my ''Nearing the age of 17, first car questions''
.A lot of people consider me a fool now because of it
.Tbh tho, if this car can do 127 stock, shouldn't it be realistic it can do 140 with mods? Or am I wrong and too inexperienced and is this stupid what I just asked ?
Or should I ( because you guys, well fox and paradigm and some others anyways
, consider me a stupid fool) go back to the pc games forum and only be allowed to ''shadow'' motors forums ?Funny thread though but tbh I cba to read all 3 pages of it
.Trying to read it all tho.

The car might do 127mph stock over a long enough distance if the conditions are favourable, but that doesn't mean that the (unlikely) mods he has listed will propel the car to the claimed 152mph. At those speeds, its all about brute power and aerodynamics. A GPS-verified 130mph takes a fair while to get to in a car with 140bhp. To get to 150mph still takes a while in a car with 220bhp. Yet here is a car 30bhp down on that claiming to have pulled hard up to that speed of 152mph? We haven't even got to the issue of gear ratios yet!
http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=8539719&postcount=5 - list of mods for that Lupo sounds scarily similar to the list of mods on this GTi....

What a thread!
What a tool!
Pure OC/UK quality, a good reminder why I put up with this place!
For the record,my old BMW 728i did a GPS "verified" top speed of 142MPH (Indicated well off the clock!) scared the pants off me, and I was holding the wheel as if my life depended on it (funnily enough, it did!)
80 MPH in an HGV is also very very scary (less said about that the better!)
I'd hate to go over 100 in a 106!
Genius & Gimp in equal measure in this thread, the Gimp is on his holiday.
5 Stars to all detectives involved on this case.
