On a very straight road heading towards Stoke I hit 130mph on the dial, which was 124mph on my GPS (5% error is about right). The car didn't rally have much left in it to be honest, but back then I only had a panel filter.

thought about posting this question a couple of days ago after doing 134 mph on the motorway not sure if it would have went any faster if i have kept the foot down but thoughs of crashing and losing the lience soon slowed me down.

Sorry for having to point this out but I think we need to be a bit careful here folks. There was another thread on this topic a while back and as Pinky said there:

Quote:

Dont forget there was a BMW (I think) driver convicted of speeding wayyyyyyyyyy over the limit because... he boasted on the owners club forum & the police were reading it. They had him on camera but there was either something about not being able to see it was him driving or he was just going too fast...

Oh yes, very good point Chris.
All you guys claiming over 70mph on a public road were all lying, weren't you

I'd like to see them convict me without any proper evidence. If they say i've been boasting, i'll just say i'm crazy and not in a fit state of mind!!

Very true. On the open roads there, there is also no speed limits. I actually went across there last summer for a football tournament, and it was nice to able to put your foot down without worrying about any cameras or watching out for coppers. Shame it wasn't this year I went or I'd have been tempted to take my across with me on the ferry.

Now that would be interesting getting footage of that!!! Would require my propper video camera for that

o.O Next FordFiestaST.co.uk Event on the Isle Of Man

There are a lot of really good roads on the island. Lots of really open stretches along with some good twisty ones. Not sure how some of the bikers have the guts to ride at the speeds they do in the TT races on some of them though!!!
