Thessaloniki do Athens in Greece in something like 3:30 (it's about 500 km's).


But for real thrrills you schould see fast travelling over here, where are no motorways, dual carriegeways, autobahn or whatever you call that. I used to drive to a girlfriend every weekend 100 km's. Usually avarage speeds 100-120, that was something. But in last 2 or 3 years there is more and more policemen, kind of becoming risky in my areas. Still there are some parts of Poland where you go like it was special stage

also, speed camers photograph the front of the vehicle - no problem on a bike

Jimbo do you not head the warnings from the Government about children playing football in the road

We were'nt exactly hanging about on th eway there either. Rachel bottled it a bit when the car spun the wheels up in 4th. . I thought she did well seeing as that is the first time she's driven quickly since her accident almost a year ago
She's really keen on getting this FRST now

Edinburgh newbridge roundabout to dunblane keir roundabout ( both roundabouts at the end of the motorway ie ones you have to take ) in 15 mins 30 seconds average speed around 125mph.

Alan Ramsay:

Cheers ....

I did loads of 16 min times cruising at a constant 120 and decided to up that to a constant 130. its usually after a night out in EDI at about 3-4am so the roads are totally dead. Just wind it up and sit there....

I always had this desire to try that run in a ghostrider style mad motorbike run... that would be amazing 10 mins or something stupid!!!

Another way is number of miles divide by number of minutes X 60 = avg mph.

Anyone done exeter - penzance?

1 hour 50 is my best time as of yet!
