....Probably watching my speed having been able to let go a bit (a lot!) on the German autobahns recently. :wink:

You should have waved/signalled, but I don't recall seeing a silver Ed30 :cool:

Cheers

....What!? on the M5 ?? - No way! The UK isn't the place.

In Germany I managed 143 mph on the GPS speedo. Very good acceleration up to about 135 and then the rate slooows. Aerodynamics of a hatch back also play a significant part. GTI happy to 'cruise' at 120 ish all day if conditions allow and you want to.

I ment Autobahn, of course. 143 makes 230kmh. I've done that number, too. Also by GPS. It was still pulling ok, but I got scared for certain reasons.
