I'm presuming you were pissed at the time of writing that? :whistle:

Well done on reaching 135mph and thrashing the fcuk out of your car. I don't even know you but I'm so proud of your achievements you're now my role model.

There is a word for people like this, I use it on a regular basis because there are so many of them around. What was it again...?





...oh yes!

I don't know why you take the piss out of this guy. after all. everyone seems to be on about engine conversions to make their cars faster? why should he be any different to the rest of us?

We're all young once and driving fast seems like a good idea at the time. But as a grown up you realise it's irresponsible.

But, I'm sure he was only doing that speed on private land or a racetrack ;)

Driving that fast is one thing, but publicising it, isn't that clever and certainly if you want to sell the car on at some point, saying that you don't look after it isn't bright either.

But only seems to be on this site.

On the m3 forum everyone talks about top speed and I was given advise by many, that to beat the 155mph limit you must pass 155mph in 5th then change into 6th to get top speed.
Lets face it if you buy a 1.8 turbo or any fast hatch and fast coupe etc, everyone buys them for the same reason, to have fast spirited drives.

Legally we can only drive to 70mph so why buy a gti if you dont plan on braking that law?
