it's nothing of the sort

a ton in a chinquecento aint scary, tiring but not scary.

random

We did 97mph in a Citreon AX once, that was scary

100+ in a crappy yellow 205 1.1 slipstreaming a large beemer is scary!

But as said before, very tiresome. Probably due to only 4 gears, not enough sound proofing etc.

Oh yeah. Breaking speed limits is bad an wrong and won't someone think of the children1111. :cool:

No, it isn't. Driven mine faster than that (downhill with a following wind

), and it wasn't scary in the slightest. Noisy, yes. And took a long time to wind it up there, even with the slope. But not scary, and no wobbling.

If you want an even worse view of the Seicento's capabilities in a crash, the NCAP test makes for 'interesting' viewing....

On the plus side, it does make you concentrate about 500% more knowing that a crash at half-decent speed will kill you

Hmmm i think the Tracking is out on mine or something....

Tbh if you think about crashing then dont drive anycar.

maybe you just get scared easy

If you had a moderate cross-wind I could see it getting slightly unstable, as mine will start to feel a bit off even at 70mph if cross-winds are reasonably strong. But aside from that, 90mph shouldn't make it wobble.

True.

90mph in a small fiat doesn't sound that scary... now 75mph in an old leaf sprung landrover.... now that's a different matter entirely.

MikeHunt79 · 14 Jun 2007 at 00:10

I did something similar - 90mph (indicated) in a 1.0l Fiat Panda Super! Got some strange looks. :eek:

Private runway of coarse.

If the 205 is mechanically sound, 110+ isn't a problem for it.... They're just very noisey!

lol, i remember an old cream series 2 landy we used to own, drove it back from its mot and really dont know how it passed! used to wonder all around the road, steering wheel needed to turn about a third of a way before there was any responce, brakes were horrendous, but was still a laugh!! it would struggle to go about 45 mph!! legend of a vehicle
