what scares me are are people blatently in company cars flying past you whilst looking like they're trying to lick the windscreen

I cruise daily at 80-90 and when there is an open road and no cameras I take it to 115 when warmed up!
Power delivery is brilliant....

Bout 3 weeks ago i was cruising slowly at about 60-70 and a white skoda started poking up my bumper.
I was going to give it some but thank lord the car hadnt warmed up so i was being sensible and holding speed.
Anyway this continued even after swapping lanes i.e the skoda kept pissing me off!

All of a sudden, blue lights flash in the interior, undercover feds on the motorway  :sick:

Apparently my motor was not being registered as legally insured and under my name, the cops thought i had stolen her!
Lucky for me I had recently done my road tax at the posties and had all ma documentation on me...

Morale of the story, drive carefully! i.e Give it some in the right places (no traffic, cameras etc) i suppose!

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I agree with you. Its not your licence or point your risking, its your life or someone elses. On my 1.6 the highest ive been was 90 and i know the car can do 110 easily, i never push it though cos ive always got a mate with me, and i wouldnt like to imagine the situation i would be in if i crashed, i survided and he was killed. To speed first i have to tick some boxed.
Think,
Am I alone?
Am I risking someone's life?
Is there any traffic at all?
Is the road clear?
Whats the speed limit? (obviously dont do 100 in a 30 area!)
Are there any dangers ahead that can case me to swerve the car or crash?

If your in a built up area a kid could easily run infront of u from behind parked cars, on a rural area an animal could easily meet u in the middle of the road and at 100mph hitting a rabbit or even a dog isn't nice, you would both lose.

THINK!!

But speed is great appart from all this :laugh:
