I'm sure it won't come to that.
I'm sure there would be a way of permanently banning people based on IP address or something along those line.

Back on topic.
Fastest I've been in my Focus is 125mph (clock speed) but she was screaming for me to stop

I got my SportKa up to a clock speed of 122mph. And while it seemed to be stable enough, the needle was well into the red line. I think 'slow down you crazy bas***d' was being screamed from the exhaust pipe

I hope it isn't the same person as this forum is the friendliest forum I have ever been on and it would be a shame for someone like that to ruin the whole atmosphere of the place. I know that people like Scott have worked damn hard making this what it is and I hope it isn't ruined by one spiteful person.





Thank you for your comments once again about the board, im really glad when members say this as it makes all the hard work, late nights, and effort in keeping it going at hard times in the past very worth while!!!

Theres no way this forum will be abused or the atmophere taken away, you have my word on that. Just aslong as the members love it here, thats all that counts, or no its the community that is the most important!!!

Yes his IP has also been banned.

What engine is in your focus!? I've had mine 134mph on the clock and still had pull, but was taking a bit too much road, so had to slow as it was coming to an end (on a private road)

It would take one hell of an educated person to get round an ip address ban!

It's a 1.8 which is the same as yours so i'm shocked by that. I did hear somewhere that the power output of these engines do vary quite widely. Not sure how true it is.

Just think that I should second that. I know it must have taken a lot of hard work early on to establish the atmosphere that exists on the forum, and I'm glad that I've been able to carry that on since joining the team. There is lot of hard work involved at times, but it does make it very much worthwhile to know that members appreciate the efforts that we all put into the site!!

Why do these 'debates' keep coming down to education

What's a debate? Maybe if I'd had an education I might know

On subject (sort of):

Don't have the yet, but the fastest i've been this week was 160kts......but thats in a tutor (plane in my sig)! As for cars took my dads old mondeo V6 up to 135mph, but for me its all about acceleration/performance rather than all out top speed.

Off subject:

IP ban's are, like most things, easy to get around if you know how. I run a forum elsewhere and had this trouble. Also this forum is spot on!
When I finally get the if i'm ever out of the car, i'll probably be posting on here talking about it!

Keep up the good work!

The fastest I've been in a car is 175mph on the German autobahn in my dad's TVR Tuscan. Obviously not me driving it mind. The autobahn was clear by the way, no traffic to get in the way but my god things fly past you at a rate. One second you passing a sign that says 1000 metres to the exit and about 4 seconds later, your at that exit. Scary stuff!

oh its simple, you go to your nice isp server and say, please o please can i have a new ip address, only, i was a bit of a numpty with the old one and want asecond chance, so the nice little isp server gives you a fresh second chance ip address to be a good boy with. I have very little education but i believe thats how it works...
