65mph for me

 

129... poor show for a valver! Mine pulls 140 indicated on a flat stretch.

 

Here we go

 

an indicated 155 in my mk2 vr with vr clocks.

 

Indicated 80mph on mine before the rebuild, was running rich and burning oil like a trooper!

 

202

 

125 in my mk2 valver...before i got a slap from the missus

 

Of all the MPH's, I like 85mph best. Nicely fast and just wind noise. Where's my slippers?



Fordo!

 

A billion.

 

148mph in the R32 in France.
WISH I'd passed the 150 mark but it got busy.

 

Had an indicated 125 on the valver, although I don't try very often as you obviously need safe conditions (no traffic, good view) as well as a stretch of road with no rozzers or cameras. Find the two don't often occour together..

 

Bwahahhaah my car does that with ease, without even having your foot to the floor!

Most I've had the guts for was 147-150ish mph indicated and still pulling. Very, very rarely go over 100mph anymore though, it's just not worth the risk.

I'd never drive at such speeds on the road *cough*
