Whilst driving; the first time was probably in my dads Cavalier :oops:
Whilst passenger; 3.0 V6 Mk 1 Capri
Driving on private ground; 130+ (TVR Griffith)
Passenger on private ground; 165mph, in the wet :(scared): (TVR Sagaris)
On 2 wheels; 130'-ish' pillion on a CBR600
On (unpowered) 2-wheels; 60mph* down East Chevin at Otley, & a similar speed down Holme-Moss :(scared): :(bigshock):
*
Not the places to have a car pull out in front of you, but overaking them was fun:(biggrin):
Very accurate speedometers on bikes, if set up correctly, perhaps a discrepancy of less than a foot per mile?? (hence a similar accuracy for speed measurement)
-
Austin Princess 1800 HLS, wound it up to 110 on the clock.
Surely that was in KMH M'lud ?
It too expired before I got it home, one of the push rods bounced out and I got to do my first head removal.
Sold it to my dad to pay for driving lessons and he wrote it off a week later.
-
Cavalier mk2
-
Haven't managed it yet, not that i'm trying really, but my fiesta has done the sunny side of 85 :)
-
Datsun Violet 160J SSS coupe (in Germany where it was legal) still got overtaken though!! :shock:
Previous motors never went that quick!
-

-
Probably a Cossie, we used to get them up to 130 plus on the test track at Bassildon before the next corner.
Been in an Escort cossie flat out at 140 too. What a hoot :D
-
Escort 1300 petrol van - well, the clock said a ton !
Whilst on the subject of silly things done in the past, we used to leave Hemel on the A414, slip onto the M1 south, and then get out into lane 3 (outside lane) of the M1 south, before getting off 300 yds later onto the M10 south (having carved back across 3 lanes of the M1 :shock: ) - and this was usually in a convoy of 3 or 4 vans. Really funny then, but I'm amazed now that we never got nicked and/or hurt in a pile up !

White BMW 318i Automatic - E938 UBA got it to 120 on a track day

The first would have been my Rover SD1 3.5 V8 when I was 18. Then the MG Midget race car.
Fastest I've been as a passenger was about 160 in a Group B Peugeot 205 T16, scary! And the fastest I've driven would be about 150 in a Lotus Esprit around the test track, awesome!

The first car i did a ton in was works Peugeot 607 coming back from a site visit Germany, on the autoban of causee :wink:
-
Morris Marina TC...he he those were the days
-
My first car, and the car i did it in, was a Fiat 128 Rally, left hand drive import, 1.3 OHC, it would out corner a XR3.
Didnt look so good, when a artic came around a blind corner, on the wrong side of the road, and drove over the bonnet, tractor unit and trailer, pushed the engine into the tarmac.
Best bit of advice given to me by my girlfreinds mum (at the time) who taught me to drive, and sold me the Fiat 128 Rally,
"TREAT ALL OTHER ROAD USERS AS IDIOTS",
by which she means, "just because they indicate left, doesnt mean they wont turn right" and another good one, just because they are looking at you, doesnt mean they wont pull out infront of you" :shock:
-
Morris Marina TC...he he those were the days
Ahhh..... that is what I aspired to when I bought the 1.3 Marina......NOT! Surprisingly fast, but they forgot to design it to go round corners :lol:

I got 102 out of the Volvo, private road of course, tailwind and downhill.
Only car not capable I've had is the zook.
