I swear dad hit 130ish on the way to London for holiday in the fastlane. Feels like all the other cars are stationary.

I'd just use the M4. You'd save loads of money!

Passenger - 147mph in an Evo 1, speedo wasnt connected, this was calculated through gearing and rpm, was well in the red in 5th.

Driver - 145mph+ on the clock in Integra Type R

Driver - way off the clock, calculated at 155mph in a 260bhp turbo EG6 Civic, pulling 8500rpm in 5th on a Integra SiR-G gearbox.

lol, i never take much notice of speedo readings past about 50mph.

I had a standard 1.6 vti civic to an indicated 146mph, yet the book speed is about 133mph.

I also got a 1.0l micra off the clock reading over 100mph, that was funny, big downhill mind, was probably doing about 85

We were under the misty impression he was working with a company that did high performance suspension setups for super cars and the like. This seemed odd as you'd expect that was a reasonably well paid job where you'd drive something better than a Renault Megane.

Tell us more, we could do with a laugh.

Depends what role specifically he may of done. Generally engineering pay sucks anyway though.
