I have the slowest GTi

I dont see anything wrong with speed where the conditions and situation makes it safe.

e.g. A long section of motorway way at 3am in the morning with nobody on in the dry.

I know a few b roads near me where its safe to boot it at certain times of the day, but you have to be wary of tractors, mud on the road, animals etc. Its still risky to drive fast, but if your sensible you reduce those risks.

I like the fact i have the ability to pull away nice and quick and when the little boys in their little cars think they can out run me i like to see their faces when they see the GTI badge!! (we have plenty of scanky boys who think they are great around here!! )

But yes, everyone says i should have a 1.0ltr.

Just wait for the temp to be sitting where it should do, find a nice empty carriageway and go for it

No, I don't think they would either.

I'll have to have a go when I am next on a nice long road and let you all know

Well said, it's like that old proverb, if a tree falls in the woods and no-one's there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Likewise if no-one see's it, is it still illegal?

cant say there are many motorways around me to drive on so if i wanna drive fast it either has to be done in the town, the country or not atol. Mabey not atol is the wisest option, but hey what you gonna do about it? Wouldnt like to waste the money buying a fast car to drive like an old granny without her specs on now do I.
