Just got my first speeding ticket.  :evil:

Not sure what it is yet but got a letter from the lease company that do my company car saying they have passed on my details and the police will be contacting me.

I remember it happening up near Grimsby a few weeks back.  Was doing about a ton as well.  Ah well just have to wait now.

if its over a 100 instant ban I think mate.  Ive been done a few times now, just glad after cirencester there wasnt any cameras as was testing it and did a  stupid speed.

What's the fastest you have driven - you being the driver, not passenger?

145 last week and if honest got a bit scared so didnt push it longer

I've done 140 in an Omega, and 135 in a Golf V5.  Feels quick eh?

I used to have to go to the bank every day for work, and had to use company cars so I was on the company insurance, working at head office I had a good selection to choose from.  :mrgreen:

Fastest I've been is 120, I wussed it though fear of losing my licence!

I did manage to get 110 out of my old polo 1.3 though with a 10 mile run up, slight tailwind and a downhill slope 8)  quite an achievement I thought, athough the poor car seemed less than impressed.

I think mine was 220 but that was in km/h last year in portugal over a bridge. Put my foot down cos I hate bridges!!

So about 135 mph stfcfan.

Youre All NICKED!!!  :twak:

fastest i have been in my little 1.4 fiesta is about 105-110mph. getting a new car soon though (i crashed into a wall on the way home from ciren - i wasnt speeding, it was a schoolboy error  :clown: ) so will have to give that a blast down the motorway & hopefully beat my record.

Between 80-90mph. Cos I only got a 1.0 metro. :cry:

I've managed to break 100 in my Clio 8)

Quality post, im not kidding 145 shat me up, im not interested in seeing how quick it would go, the cars definately chipped! My MG only got to 115 (restricted) a KA sport (looked lush believe it or not) got 110 and teh AX (first car) was about 105

Quickest ive been in is my brothers skyline GTR that was way over 140 and his ducatti on the back was too quick for my liking!

Yeah, being a pillion at speed is SCARY!

fastest i have driven was 145mph in my old Astra GTE16v.
felt fucking fast.

Fastest i have been was just over 150mph in my brother in-laws old Ferrari 355. Thing is that didn't feel as fast as my shitty old Astra but then again my Astra wasn't built for 145mph where as the ferrari can do 180ish

yeah at 145mph everything was coming at me stupidly quick.  Best bit is my mate in the passenger seat was loving it and egging me on bloke in back was pissed up and doesnt remember it at all!

i was traveling down the M40 when a Toyota ???? came up behind me to race.
I pulled over at 115mph to make him think i couldn't go anymore then dropped it to 4th and shot up behind him.
He pulled over at 135ish mph and i carried on as the road was clear to see what i could do and topped out at 145.

the wife didn't appreciate it though. :-))(

nah theres atime and a place to do it, although off to nottingham this weekend with marie so might push it to 150 to shit her up!

In my boy racer days was when i was playing football in Wantage.
I only had a boyed up XR3i. It was a night game so i left about 10:15pm and arrived back in my village (middle Barton) at 10:43pm.

Was a bit silly by me as was only 19 but i was flying down the A34.

of course i wouldn't dare do that now :-))(

Did 149 down M4 in my last car, probably could of gone quicker. Same car i did Cheltenham to swindon in 14 minutes! That was pretty fun!

When i was younger hit the end of the speedo at 160@5000rpm in my dads old car and that red lined at around 6000rpm and was still pulling like a train. that fillled my pants. :soapy tit wank:

Fuck me what car was that?

driving to newquay in my dads saab last year I had it on cruise control at 120mph. I slowed it down to eat some crisps. Fastest Ive been is 135. I am usually a safe driver.

I think my bike does 0 - 95 in 7.6 sec (about 8.5 for 0-100) - it certainly stretches your arms a bit (not that I ever do it on public roads)

230 mph on GT3 but in real life 145 in my old scooby..........

93 mph  :oops:  3 days ago

the old man got 105 out of it (106 xld), i'll test her out properly when i pass and i'm not under supervision  8)

My car tops out at 117mph (revs hit the red line) but Asher that is bloody hardcore!  Can I touch you?

I've never seen anyone go above 120mph on a public road, but at certain times (e.g.: middle of the night) it is safe as you pose little danger to anyone but yourself.  Have to say at a little under 120mph I was a bit scared, although my car felt a little light on steering (no spoiler gave it little downforce as the car swayed in the wind) and I did do this when it was a touch busy, but I was running late for party  :oops:

Normally, I'm not happy over 95mph on a public road, and only ever hit 100mph at a push...  I'll undertake, or tailgate if people get in my way, but I don't feel safe at over 95mph!!!

Most my fiesta can do is 115-120 and I've done that a few times, mainly down the A419 but twice I've had to break hard 'cos of police speed check vans parked on the central reservation. They've not caught me though. :advercool:

One time I was doing 115 or so and a bike absolutely shot past me doing at least 170mph probably more.

Fastest I've been was about 130 in my mates honda civic.

A guy I know at uni has a Ferrari 360 but I've not been in it.

i'm hoping to get a scooby next summer.
Wont be a brand new one but i'm looking at spending £15k on one which should see me pick up a very decent second hand one.

Been looking around on the internet lately just to see whats around and there is an old P1 going for £16000 with 36k on the clock. Looks absolute mint in the photos with Subaru history aswell.
Checked insurance and can get it for £1100 fully comp. Not bad really

If only i had the money now. :roll:

Walrus - You are a pure boy racer

Well the speeding ticket has finally arrived and apparently they only caught me at 89.  Must have slowed down quick enough but i did doubt i had!  Just the 3 points and £60 fine.  Fortuantely my boss has said he will pay the fine and as i have a company car he also pays the insurance so i won't feel it!  :D
