Fastest I've gone in my car is 104 in a 65 on the highway. At 4 in the morning. But I didn't take a picture. Lips Sealed

Maybe when I'm ready to get my tires replaced I'll take it to the drag strip and let it go.

As a side line to this conversation, the different ways in which we are speaking about speed is rather interesting.

American members are speaking about doing 100 mph in a manner that sounds like it is breaking mach 1 for the first time Grin

The Brits are talking about 100 mph in a manner, well I do mach 1 when no one is looking Grin

And those of us living in Germany are complaining that Mach 1 feels slow Cool

Brits are looking at the Germany with envy and at the American's......V8 and 55mph, there is no justice in life Sad

And Americans are looking at the Brits and the Germans convinced that they will die if they travel above 30 mph in a built up area Grin

And the Germans,......................are giggling all the way to the red line Grin

I once got a Nash Rambler up to 55mph. Cool

120mph in a 1984 RX-7SE, scariest few seconds of my life. Shocked

Its amazing how difficult it is to change direction on a 2-wheeled Motor-bike travelling at 150 Mph, when the Motorway Central Reservation Crash Barrier is rapidly approaching, on a gentle curve.... Shocked

I got nothing against going fast. I do have something against a $500 ticket and having my license taken away.

You were breaking the law. Your IP Address with location is recorded and I have alerted the proper authorities, I would expect a severe fine in the mail within the week. Mum won't be too happy.

Was I the only one to catch this?
lol?
And how about trying this on a highway, strange I found it too...
