boss: yep, a mate of his has got an evo fq330 thats been staged 1 tuned, and they had a race on a motorway headed towards a show....
me: oh right,...who tuned it, msd..?
boss: no idea mate, but anyway, my mate said he was bouncing of the rev limiter at 180, and his mae in the fq330 went past him like he was stood still.....when they stopped he asked how fast he went past him, and he said 240.....
me: what, kph???

My mate used to have a Maestro Vanden Plas (yeah I know!) and there was a button on the digital dash where you could swithc between mph and kph, when no one was looking he'd hit it then the 17yr old muppets who were with him would make out they were doing 150 down the road. Orrible car!
