What's going on out the windscreen in your pic Matt?
Looks like ice & snow, that or a car wash.

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
