I have a 16v in a mk1 and the speedo only reads up to 120 :(. But the needle goes all the way round and gets stuck on the post for the trip reset ;D. (On my private test track of course ;))

I managed to get the needle on my h plate 16V to 140 a couple of times (took a couple of miles on empty dual carriage way with the pedal hard to the floor though). Was on my own the first time, second time I had mates in the car who hadn't believed me and was astonished to see the needle reach 140 again with four of us in it!


You got any pics of your dad's split ?

Managed to get 100mph in 4th gear.  Yet to try 5th,  I too also live miles from the nearest duel carriage way..

i got to 104 miles an hour in my 1.3 mk2 :) on the motorway at 2am (had to slow down becos it felt like it was about to explode!)... i luv the motorway late at night, just the old truckers to watch out for, and ofcourse the cops, but u only have to slow down at the turnoffs and overhead crossings... still, i live in the countryside so i can thrash my heap around the lanes which is wicked, and no one i drive with has a quicker car than me, which is wat i luv about my golf, its really quick, and it makes a awesome whistle when it accelerates, and its cheap to insure!! (im only 17!)
