Errr.....

5th 140-145 on the clock (wasn't looking that closely!)

I must stress that this wasn't on a public road

Yup!

I stress thaat it was 'on the clock' so with about 10% off would make it around 130mph actual!

Felt blimmin' quick though and still felt like it had more, but I ran out of road!
