136 mph in both cars, 1st car being my current scoob, speedo indicated 150ish

2nd car was a Westfield, had to put my hand on top of my head to stop my beanie hat being blown off, lol

136mph one handed, with bum 6" off the road, that was the cars Vmax, wouldn't go any quicker

Eh? They'll only hit 127 before the redline, or did you have a longer 5th gear from a diesel? Or naughty mods

I've had about 140mph in a diesel Passat which felt quite comfortable.

Maybe about 100mph in my 205 GTi as it's scarey in such a light car with crosswinds

The fastest that Ive driven in this country, I think, is 140mph: down the runway at Brunters in my old Porsche.

203 mph, had to raise the rev limit 300 rpm for that, just wanted to get past the rated top speed, not in the Scoob though, my "other" car.
