1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Shane that would be the steering wheel  ;)
I wont deny that in the past I have discovered that my car will do significantly faster than will get me banned. I wasn't silly enough to take a picture at the time as one little gust of wind, one slip and I'd have been a foot note in the local paper of the town I was flying by.

You were breaking the law. Your IP Address with location is recorded and I have alerted the proper authorities, I would expect a severe fine in the mail within the week. Mum won't be too happy. :)

Top speed... 75mph. Though in all fairness that was my first attempt at the dual carriageway

[color=#000000]Unfortunately, I do not have a photo, (no wife to lean over and snap) so it doesn't count, but I once saw 160 mph (=257 km/h) @ 6000 rpm in 5th gear in my Z28. Just wish I had shifted into 6th and held it for a few seconds. But the rev limiter kicked in with a bang and scared the kibble out of me. It took me a few seconds to realize what had happened as I was slowing
