Have you ever seen Tim or Ollies car go- and for that mater C+B should know better.
It doesn't rev hard enough or high enough to get anywhere near 165.

I really don't think that did anything like 165mph. It doesn't have the 100-150mph acceleration rate that mine has (not seen Tims or Oli's from that perpsective, but they would no doubt agree).
Must remember to do an in-car video if mine ever see's the light of day again.

I'd have to agree with Christian, that car simply does not have enough acceleration after 100mph to pull 165mph down Bruntingthorpe.
For example, from a standing start Oli's can pull off the clock in 14 seconds. In that video it takes a lot longer than 14 secs to pull the 2nd half of the speedo!!! BIG difference.

Was sold to someone called Liam on the RSOC forum. His E-TAH grey car was rotten. He bought the shell to swap everything over, lost heart with the whole scene and sold everything on seperately.
I never heard what happened to the white shell after that. But Bam restored the grey shell.
