    Well until they manage to get all those TRO's through, then I'll still be enjoying my V8 thanks very much. And it eats Gayman's for breakfast.

      Police stopped 2,000 motorists 'doing over 100mph' in 2014-15 - BBC News

      Enjoy it while you can and try not to end up on this list.

        "A footballer was fined £1,400 and given a six-month ban for that offence after being stopped in his BMW M4 Coupe."

        Seems quite lenient for 156mph on an A-road.

          And equivalent to 20p for most of us.

          I've no points on my license and rarely go over 90. Used to live in Frankfurt so know how they do it over there. Bring in the 12 second rule.

              The cops give you a 12 second start before chasing you?

                My car makes 602bhp and it's impossible to use even half throttle on the roads in this country without getting into licence losing territory. There's a lot to be said for a light car with a small engine that you can drive flat out everywhere when it comes to the fun factor.

                I also used to have a 5.0 TVR.

                  That's no longer relevant.

                    On M40 a lot of bog standard cars do 90

                      Cars have long been able to so eye watering speeds. The best thing is you can get cracking late 90s/early 00s motors for relatively little money, but with enough performance to more than entertain.
