We’ve all let it go downhill but 89mph :open_mouth:

Thank gawd there wasn’t the shock horror about a bit of extra oomph back in the 80’s, where the speed mentioned was attained regularly and exceeded by some, by no means downhill either.

Nuns and kittens scattered like confetti for miles?

Dipped the clutch full loaded going down from kinross to bridge of earn on the hill many a times and got it up to they figures. No bggie.

Just saw this on Facetube. Was particularly impressed by the way that he was barely in control of the vehicle when it got a bit of a snake on! :smiley:

HSF never stopped during the days of analogue, police never caught a driver with a completed field entry, the name was always left blank and the excuse was always the same “I forgot to enter it” , if they never got a tug then at the end of the shift Mickey Duck or Daffy Mouse would do, and in went another.

Out of gear or what was once referred to as “paddy’s overdrive”

Dunno what’s worse, the camera man’s stability control, or the quality of the clip fullstop [emoji19][emoji849]

I’d argue that matey filmings parkinsons was to blame for the reading, and as for the little shuffle, meh wasp in the cab [emoji106]

71 years old hey, bet he’s a roughen with the ladies…

if it does it,do it…places to go,people to see,loads to deliver…no biggie apart from the full ott snowflake alert once caught with the inevitable fannys commenting on the webpage about it knowing nothing as usual.
if he aint on a magnet,then someones spent the best part of a grand hard wiring in a piece of the harness to allow the bypass ( or so i was told)… :open_mouth:

Lol…was he also flashing his headlights at vehicles to move out of his way or was it just bad video quality?

I had a Sed/Atk on Lex Wilkinson 290 ■■■■■■■ would do 85 no worries, was travelling down to Laredo TX, near San Antonio doing the legal 75 in my Pete, when two, not one, two Kenworth tankers came past me like i was stood still, and i mean stood still, don’t know what speed they were doing but they were out of sight in no time.
