Cmon the speedfreaks, own up.

Whats the fastest you've been on a public road (including Motorways etc) and in what car. :D

Me = 135mph in an Astra 2.0L Convertible Turbo on the M118 near Grimsby late at night.
 
I can see this thread getting some big-time flamage, but a couple of years ago I managed 135mph (indicated) in my mum's 1.8 Zetec Focus at around 4am on the M3.

I haven't taken the MR2 above 90mph, purely because I don't want to risk my license. No car = a longgggg walk to work (no public tansport)
 
I'm all for safe driving, but you have to understand, IT WAS A HIRE CAR.

We all know that the fastest car in the world is a hire car ;)

That was a couple of years ago and I've been a good boy since. That said nearly every thread on this forum is about mods and sports cars so you can't exactly convince me that those people have never gone above 70 mph can you :rolleyes:

Probably not, but they'll try and state otherwise. I'm quite happy to admit that I break the speed limit when it safe to do so. I'm still breaking the law. Not this week though as fuel restricitions have meant that I need to be economical.

I will refrain from posting my fastest speed though.

What within a few weeks .... ROFL

Glorifying speeding threads like this does does nothing but boost pre-pubescent teenagers imagination that there saxo does in fact doe 190+ mph on an up hill
 
140ish in werns st220 on the m6 private toll road in, not far off that in will's old scoob around another private road in Newbury.
 
It's not the fastest I've been but I was impressed when I was able to take the Cinq off the clock. 120+ indicated although obviously it wasn't actually going anywhere near that fast. Probably wasn't much more than 100 in reality.

hehehehehe
 
I did 100 in a 999cc uno once. Since then though I tend to drive with a bit more sense. Not even been over 80 I don't think for quite some time.
