Personal top speed in a Mk5 GTI?

Remember the speedo is wrong.  The climatronics and GPS usually tie in.

Mine is just over 130 mph on the mountain circuit IOM.  Which, for that road, is slow.

Can we post on here without fear of prosecution?

I was on IOM too  :rolleyes: Hit an indicated 140mph (GPS-135mph). Never been able to reach it since because I haven't been back to IOM!
