I'm failing to see the point in this thread

 

Well you know what to do then

 

It is the thread from which all subsequent "How much for a bottom end rebuild" ; "Horrible knocking sound"; "Engine gone pop" threads originate.

 

Many years back Escort RS turbo chipped 140 on the clock and backed off! (long private road)

 

Funny you should say that, i am getting a bit of knock now

 

nope, of course not. I also mowed down a litter of new born black puppy labs who had fallen out of a van that I rear ended whilst braking down to about 120mph

 

I'm just getting a bit of a "Knock if you can't go"

 

I hit an indicated 144mph in a 13 year old Audi 90 20v a while back. It was all over the private road and fooking scary. Not done anyhting like it since.

 

No I don't actually

Do you want me to go out and achieve some three figure speeds so I boast to my friends down the pub and a public forum?

As for everyone who's achieved these speeds on a 'private road' - come on please. Your just afraid of being flamed to death on here.

 

GPS recorded 173mph in my UK classic with 6 speed box.

Mobile came in handy for the speedo reading.

 

It's kind of like 7 up only less so, - you know, lower in sugar, calories etc.

 

Oh, and probably ~140 on the speedo in the scoob, still seemed to have plenty left but common sense and available suitable space prevailed beyond that. Have been at over 150 indicated in a previous shape Vectra 2.5, which was strangely capable at high speeds. N.B. not in UK.

First car I ever had, I once got 12mph over it's official top speed whilst still in 3rd gear! Old french superminis, the engines just wouldn't break!

 

What a **** thread.

 

150mph

 

i got 130mph outta my classic before i shat it
Will try again soon for a bit more when my bollox have grown a bit

 

157 MPH

 

but seriously please. was a genuine question.

 

Which I answered

 

wah? cookstar/hades. multiple user names

im off to bed, up at 2.45 this afternoon.

 

Can't believe that you were faffing about with your phone at that speed!

 

mine not a scooby but only puished the bmw to 140 then bottled it and lifted off, my old cavi gsi 2000 had 156 out of her

 

My top speed is 122mph.

I did this in New Zealand this year.

Lateral Performance 0-194.8 in 1 Mile at TOTB 5 - Google Video

 

Dito What a ****!

 

Std Speedo's aren't accurate!!!!!!!!! anything over 30mph can be 5mph out, so 100mph + is just gunna be more out (gps boys accepted). So its all kinda bollox




But it is good for pub talk

 

cant believe people using phones at that speed, i once reversed off my drive whilst lookin at my phone and reversed into a post lol

 

Not gonna say the exact speed, but it was 10mph shy of 200mph indicated on the speedo, not sure the actual GPS speed.

This is in my 996 Turbo.

It wasn't the outright speed as such but the ease & speed at which it got there that actually frightened me more.

Thats the fun bit fella

 

Well let's examine the evidence . . . .

So which post do you think this is referring to . . .

Perhaps the strange hours are playing havoc with your mind?

 

145 racing a mate in a evo six then my splash guard come of went under the car with a loud scrape wondered what the hell was going on
