What's the fastest you've driven on a UK motorway?
Do have a care to not drift too far off topic... or away from the realms of decency.
A303, driving a Vauxhall Cavalier 2.0Li sometime in the mid 1990s, going west, at about 1am. At the point where you pass Stonehenge, and the road becomes dual carriageway again, there's a long downhill stretch with a curve at the bottom. It's quite gentle at 90 mph. At 125mph it's quite a sharp turn.
Even on the Autobahns now I keep it below 100mph - mainly for fuel consumption.
Before, during and after. I have shares in Kleenex (actually did a short gig at the company who make similar in Germany but didn't get any samples so had to use the hand drier in the loo, lucky it wasn't one of those Dyson ones!)
“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”
Everyone who clicked above 130 MPH is "swinging" their willy (possibly figuratively speaking) like shaking an acorn.
I suspect a lot of these records were set some time ago. Before speed cameras became so common. I wouldn't risk it today. Or indeed bother with owning a monster car.
