At 180mph, i think you're getting close to it...
All it takes is an animal to run out, something to be in the road, a pot hole, something pulling out and it's game over. Plus you'll leave behind a lot of mess for some poor sod to come a clear up.

You'd still see a car coming though! Albeit briefly before it rearranged your internals.
How do you know? Doesn't your car top out at something like 110?
I didn't know that a person's current commuter determined the fastest they'd ever travelled on a road!? Top speed of my car is 136mph. Anyway how do we keep getting onto my car as a topic of discussion?! Somehow it'll end up being my fault that the topic was raised again

I see, you've downgraded it to a 'current commuter' now eh, what next, it'll be a 'daily smoker' or something in a desperate attempt to convince your peers that its nothing to you
A car is a car. Terms like 'commuter' are ridiculous. It's a car, you use it to go to work. You and everyone else in the country.
It reminds me of people with K reg Corsas. 'Yea yea its not my car its just my daily'. Usually used when they feel inadaquete about it in some way.

Wow, you have issues! For anyone else mortally offended by the usage of the word 'commuter' in my previous post, please replace said word with 'car'.
I am saving up my pennies, hopefully I can cure them by getting a 60 plate. Then I can look down on everyone with a 58 plate, but shrug people off who point out I've only managed a 1.25 Fiesta by saying 'Its just my daily!"!£!£23423839'

LOL
You don't have a clue about that road so what are you talking about? it's nearly a mile and a half long, perfectly straight. with no junctions.
If I stand in the middle of the road, looking one way I can see.
and looking the other way is.

Alternatively, I could buy a clapped out old Bimmer that requires endless work doing to it, just so I can fool myself into believeing I'm King of the Road even though I still live with my parents

But it's on a 51 plate (or was). Anything older than 2008 is 'old'.
And I didnt buy it yesterday
it was 4.5 years old when I bought it. Which I guess in Robbieland is clapped out and old.

Well at least Jane is on my side. Better than nothing I suppose!
Sorry, you're right. I'm sure the animals, obstacles in the road and pot holes steer well clear of that road due to how straight it is.
Why did i find that so funny?
Wow, this thread has gone off the rails a bit!
My numberplate says DUP like my internets name and the first 3 letters of my surname, of course I'm gonna show it off. All I need to do now is get on the political party and it cannot be questioned further as to what it means.
Anyway, people who are concenred about the year on the plate and as clueless as the people who buy a brand new tax exempt washing machine to replace a perfectly decent 3 year old car with slightly worse economy.
