the fella has a fkd up logic lol
driving well slow at 40 in a 70

then accelerated to 70 in a 50

(my nan did similar once and got pulled by police for it... she got away with the excuse - well its a 40mph limit but I didnt realise and did 30mph on the way so one my way back I was making up the difference by doing 50mph )

Nah- its just noisey and I bet the 70 is a straight line and the 50 is a more twisty section of track.. so best to speed up for that bit.

Flat out left 90 by the volvo garage

brakes.

right 90 through trees

sharp left onto island and 2nd exit to A46 was always a good run.

Nah,

All really boring straight dual carriageway! lol end of the derby a50 bit by draycott to go onto the stoke a50 section.

what should of done was bail down the outside (righthand lane to go left on the roundabout) and see what speed could be achieved by the bridge lol

Not sure... its rolling start and about a mile I think.

think best i've done was 120mph with 160ish bhp in 850kg car. but that was accelrating from 50 in 5th and blowing oil out the bonnet vents up the windscreen.

* all figures over 70mph estimated and interpolated upwards as 70mph was obviously never exceeded on this stretch of highway... ever.
