I reckon that was the first time I managed to kiss 6000 in top, without a slipping clutch

Would have been into redline territory with a Mk2!
Mind you that wasn't adjusting for the speedo or the tyres

... it's consistently 1mph over, plus whatever small difference 155/70s make to 145/80s
(got it up to indicated 106 on the taller but skinnier tyres - a % lower revs but probably faster road speed)
That was down a mother of all motorway hills in dorset, mind! I'm going to go off to Shap sometime in the middle of the night, see if i can beat it... probably go even quicker with a 5 speed in that situation..
And if you must know, yes, it was scary as f***, but still not as bad as you might imagine!
