Been out in a Bentley Flying Spur. However, we was cruising so it didn't count I guess. I also reversed it out of a path, but I'm claiming that one. Ha Ha. Fastest being driven fast, was a 380bhp Cossie as a passenger...

Fastest I've driven, 420bhp RWD saph,
Fastest accelerating car would be my 280bhp Pulsar off the line.
Bike for just sillyness, 175mph down a long straight private road in Oxford, Watching the rev counter go up like the speedo is just wrong
YUM for a passenger ride!

My M3 Motorway record up Kempshott Hill would get me the death sentence .
It was 5 years ago, I would not attempt to do these things now, totally foolish & stupid & im lucky to have got away with it. Its unlikely i will ever drive my car in a stupid manner again its not worth it. I was speed crazy, did my learning before Speed Limits something you lads could not Comprehend. Can you imagine the M1 on the way to National Day with no Speed Limits .

God, think I've got some cars to experience

Fastest I've driven is probably an Impreza WRX, but to be honest, my T-5 doesn't feel massively slower once it's up and running.

As for passengers, went in Gary from APT in Norfolks Evo 7 when it was about 380bhp, Christian Major's RST a couple of times which is probably one of the most influential cars, just because of how quick it went for a little 1.6 four pot.

Also got a passenger ride in a 911 Turbo, one of the 4WD ones, with an instructor and one of these track school places. Speed wise I'm not sure how it would compare to the Evo, but the guy driving had some skills, missing the marker cones on the apexes by cm as he knew the place so well. Most impressive stuff.

Think I need to blag some better passenger rides though

I have been out of the seat in the air at 100mph when we hit a big enough wave.

Mine go back a few years....no order...

My Escort the few times it ran properly at full boost.
Martins old Escort with tall ali block engine and with Sean Bicknell's old 330bhp engine.
Sean Bicknell's grey Escort with Martins Old T4 engine.
Bruces RS500.


The most scary....

Being the passenger in Martoons old Escort (can't remember which engine) for the first (or second) lap he ever did of the N'Ring. He followed cossie killer stef in his scooby on to the circuit. Now stef knows the circuit like the back of his hand, Martoon don't and we all know how competitive the c-unt is....I fooking shit myself, felt like we were going to properly crash any second. I kept looking down at the cheap £20 harness I was wearing thinking what a cheap tight bastard c-unt he was !lol

RS200. That felt insane. Drove in a Skyline that scared me once. Both as passengers. Fastest car I've driven is a Roush Stage III Mustang. I felt like I was on a genetically modified sabre tooth tiger that had shark DNA grafted in and was twice normal size. Hold on and you don't have much control...

Nothing beats my gixxer though. 186 mph weekly when I was into bikes. I can still piss and breathe thankfully.

Passenger- Stu Sharpin's MKII RS2000 YB, god i love that car!
[ I will never forget going down the back straight at Marham overtaking 2 lotus Carltons like they were stood still, complete with SCROTE number plates and us both waving to them as they looked at us in total shock.]

Driven- I will have to say my own car though, as its the only one i have properly driven in anger.

I went Donington with Stef in Ck1 - it was good until Cranar Curves and the wall

Also had a passenger ride in Mike Rainbird's old Sapphire that day - very impressive out-accelerating the Diablo down the pit straight

Fastest car i've driven is a Gallardo on an airfield day ....but not the fastest I've driven in a car if you get my drift


Quick Reply: Fastest car you,ve driven/been in....??
