Speed

[skoker]

Fastest I've gone in my car is 104 in a 65 on the highway. At 4 in the morning. But I didn't take a picture. Maybe when I'm ready to get my tires replaced I'll take it to the drag strip and let it go.

(Car is 2004 Nissan 350Z)

Says the guy who goes to school next to the Daytona speedway...!

As a side line to this conversation, the different ways in which we are speaking about speed is rather interesting.

American members are speaking about doing 100 mph in a manner that sounds like it is breaking mach 1 for the first time

The Brits are talking about 100 mph in a manner, well I do mach 1 when no one is looking

And those of us living in Germany are complaining that Mach 1 feels slow 8-)

Brits are looking at the Germany with envy and at the American's......V8 and 55mph, there is no justice in life

And Americans are looking at the Brits and the Germans convinced that they will die if they travel above 30 mph in a built up area

And the Germans,......................are giggling all the way to the red line

and thats why a certain german is 7 times champion. Along with a grid full of them nowadays. No wonder when they all travel those speeds normally.

I once got a Nash Rambler up to 55mph.  8-)





120mph in a 1984 RX-7SE, scariest few seconds of my life.

Its amazing how difficult it is to change direction on a 2-wheeled Motor-bike travelling at 150 Mph, when the Motorway Central Reservation Crash Barrier is rapidly approaching, on a gentle curve.... ...!

...been there...done that!... ...!

Paul... ....!

Necessitates a change of under-pants!... ...!

Unfortunately, Daytona doesn't have open track days.

I got nothing against going fast. I do have something against a $500 ticket and having my license taken away.

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.

Was I the only one to catch this?
lol?
And how about trying this on a highway, strange I found it too...
