155 mph
143 mph (sat nav speed) in my 1979 sports car last week going towards Hamburg
Over 140 mph indicated on a Suzuki GSXR down the A338 into Bournemouth many years ago
75 mph in a Mercedes 814 towards Carmarthen in 2004 and I still have the tacho disc!
Cheers

Wow - that is quick !! - I believe that is too fast for a speed camera, I am told that they can only snap you up to about 160 or 170 mph

If I remember correctly Top Gear did a section on this and proved it to be an urban myth

wouldn’t the grid painted on the road have to be about 100 yds long??

Didn’t they prove it to be FACT, but it required a ridiculous speed…

That’s it then - 170mph
125 MPH was fast enough in my trusty Vectra.
Is this a willy waving contest?

Bummer, I could only get 55 out of my FS1E
Maxed out my brothers Golf GTi turbo once early one morn. No idea what speed I was doing but I just about passed a Lomas Distribution powder tanker. He was loaded and I managed to get him on a hill.

225 km/h between London & Dover in my car… I had a boat to catch & was already late. BTW I just made it on time… (No excuse though)…

140mph in my C30, private land of course. Not bad going for a Diesel.
An indicated 150 mph in a BMW E60 525d…very happy ticking over at the ton…pretty decent on fuel at those speeds as we’ll.
105 mph in a Peterbilt 377 Lwb tractor unit, powered by a real stump pulling Caterpillar 3406E…was very happy cruising comfortably all day at 80 mph

I’m sure I had 56 no-58 no-57 no-59-maybe 60 on the clock, on my Garelli Rekord !
I never could tell, because the needle wouldn’t stay still.
I over took a Bus once though ! Lol.
Must admit never been over 100mph, I’ve been driving for a living since I was 21. Always paranoid about getting points.
