    One hundred and ninety-something in a Brabus Mercedes SL on the A1 at 3am...specifics not given due to me screaming '****ING SLOW DOWN!'

    Fastest I've driven personally would be about 120mph in my dad's old golf on private land...

    90mph in a Peugeot 306 on the M1.

    I slowed soon after my paranoia about speed cameras set in :) Them blue boxes attached to bridges over motorways, wtf are they ?

    144mph before I ran out of road on a bypass in the Beemer @ 3am. :p

    Those blue boxes on motorway bridges are part of a Trucking tracking system or something like that, not speed cameras ;)

    All wrong. The blue boxed cameras are Traffic monotoring cameras. I used to install the bloody things!

    That's quite normal - it's just hyper-spacial turbulence as you make the jump to lightspeed. However, if it gets too bad I advise you to get your alluvial dampers looked at ;)

    As for speeding.... Ahem. 120 on the M40 coming back from Gatwick. Scary thing is, it didn't feel as if we where going that fast... :worried:

    And once I saw I was going that speed, I dropped back to 90. Felt like we where crawling. ;)
