Well Martin & Rod eat ya heart out with this....



Was doing 320mph+ down the M3 last year kaining my Peugeot 405 Diesel Estate on the way to Santapod, Early hours in the morning I was quiet chuffed with the result and it was STILL pulling

My bike in 5th out of 6 gears - only ever saw 165 mph in top so not much more to go.



My old Calibra, used to run off the end of the clock, and do it for miles and miles (round my private test track)



My Mondeo V6, before I fixed the runner control - have seen 145mph since, but no pics cos I don't race around anymore!



Slowest pic, but also the best one - my mum's Nissan Sunny 1.6GS - 80 bhp, and 127 mph.

Cheers
Si

I'd love to say I took my hands off the bars, composed the shot, and pressed the button, but that would be a big hairy ass lie

I have a camera mount on the headset, and used the self timer facility = basically got to 100 ish, pressed the self timer button, tucked my head down and twisted the throttle to the stops - got to 160mph, waited, waited, then pop, off goes the flash, piccy taken. Wish I'd changed into 6th, but at that speed I wasn't thinking about much but staying in a straight line!

Will get one in the Cossie at some point, if it will hold together long enough!

The guage never worked properly - or it was running on vapours hence the high speed.

Oddly enough that car isn't working anymore due to a dead engine! I'm pleased to say it died while my mum was driving it, and I blamed her for it (hope she don't see this thread)
