Could be a Polo GTi you know - at full pelt with the loud pedal on the floor - could *just about* manage an indicated 130ish - would have been nice to see the rev counter too but I bet its difficult enough to get that shot as it is :|

Green light over at the right - have your fogs on? :roll: :lol:

<Snip>

and a ferrari 550 doing 150 on the same red letter day

Still, being in my mums car is the scariest experience ever...
Bit I really notice every time I go over 160mph is that from then on right up to 180mph it gets very quiet...... She doesn't say much either!!!

Love the last comment tho!!!

hahahaha


my mum sits gripping arm rest on the passenger door for dear life when shes in my car

and makes a noise, like a "ssssssss" noise (would have to hear it) as though in fear


which acts to wind me up, making my driving worse

(of course when shes in the car i drive like a grandad, my driving really isnt that bad)
