Went to belgium this weekend in me old man's Skyline.

Oh my god....Along the N16 from France into Belgium I got sick of the ******* sitting about 10" from my rear bumper even when I was doing 100mph. So I planted the throttle and kept it there.

Absolutly awsome. I have no idea quite what speed we got up to as his mph reading stops at 110mph but it was reading 100mph at 3000rpm and I took it all the way to 6500rpm.

Things were going backwards very fast and NOBODY sat up my ****.

Absolutly mindblowing. Watched the fuel guage moving. Shocking.

Just thought that I'd share it with you all.

Cem you are such a liar, to me it looks clearly like 178.34 MPH




Jeez, some people hve such big egos.

I suppose you will be saying it is really 3.5 inches!

thankfully there is no picture with which to prove you wrong on that one

[/phew mode]


edited, because I am a lawyer and if I use grammar such as was there before, I may be struck off!
