haha I don't see a problem with that; this was such a fantastic thread in the first place; why can't it be another time round?
Has anyone broken their old records? It's time to update!
ROFLMAO!

In My LC on a 60km Road i went up to 180km/h beating my bro's commie VP he could only go up to 140 and it dies where mine keeps on going
.....i was thinking to myself and the good me said i should slow down now but the bad me said i should go past 200km/h but i went with the good me and slowed down

we were doing a midnight run from rinnthal to hamburg(germany) on a saturday night. about a six hour drive along the autobahn. heaps of roadworks restricted the speeds for a lot of the way but around three am we got a good run. the only car around for quite a while so we were up around the 230 kph mark coasting without being pushed around by other cars. the car was an slk kompressor but unfortunatly not the 5 litre version.
from the mirror i saw some headlights approaching and a split second later a black audi whipped past pushing our car across our lane with the gust. i had been using the in car nav to see which way the next corner was going to bend as there is no lighting and your vision only extends so far.
deciding to use the audi as a guide i pressed on to catch it as it turned the bend.
too late.............never saw the audi again. that road was straight for around a kilometre but it was gone for good.

The Torri's done about 185-odd with the old 186 in it. I've wound it off the clock with the V8 in but the speedo's been waaaay out with the new diff so no clue how fast i was going!

Don't know if I posted this before, but I was behind this guy, 180km/h when we cared to look down Conrod Straight (closed track). That was with a bent axle, but the shaking stopped at 160km/h.
