Puleez man! My Hartge conversion BMW 323 (2.7l motor) did 200 round the block. Sometimes people piss me off

Hit the 200kph mark in Germany with my 1990 Golf GL 10-11 years ago. (The last 30kph took time, a downhill road and a breeze in the right direction...) Tried to top that last year with another car, but my girlfriend stopped me at 180. (Well, maybe that was fast enough...)

My typical crusing speed in germany is about 220 km/h. However sometimes I drive at my cars top speed which is 250 km/h (Its electronically limited :-( ) I also do gliding since more than 15 years and I fly sometimes a 'FOX' which is an aerobatic sailplane for some fun. There is my top speed about 300km/h IAS (Indicated Air Speed) bb |~ bb

This summer I had my Fuji[^] racing bike up to 63 kph. Trust me, that was scarier than when I drove an F2000 car at 180 kph. And I regularly drive my '92 Jetta diesel at around 120 kph. :) Chris Meech I am Canadian.

200 what cows/horses/sheep ?;) no I mean mph or kph? [EDIT]mmm to think of it, mph would be a bit fast I think (320kph ?? seems a bit much)[/EDIT] "If I don't see you in this world, I'll see you in the next one... and don't be late." ~ Jimi Hendrix
If he managed 200mph in a BMW 323 2.7l he'd be on the cover of AutoCar and BMW Williams would be looking to hire him to tune their F1 cars :-D ProfK is a Saffa and we use kph here, so more than likely 200kph. regards, Paul Watson South Africa Michael Dunn wrote: "except the sod who voted this a 1, NO SOUP FOR YOU" Crikey! ain't life grand?

Suzuki GSX 750F, 240kph (spedo reading 268kph) In a car I think the fastest I have driven is about 210 which I have done in both a Nissan 350Z and in a Skoda Octavia RS :) - Anders My Photos

>This summer I had my Fuji[^] racing bike up to 63 kph X| Bloody scary indeed. Durban, where I used to live as a kid, is well known for it's insane hills and while tailing my mom's car one morning on the way to school I got my mountain bike up to 50kph. I arrived at the traffic lights with white knuckles and a screaming mom. Glad I didn't stain my school uniform. Fun but scary, never again. regards, Paul Watson South Africa Michael Dunn wrote: "except the sod who voted this a 1, NO SOUP FOR YOU" Crikey! ain't life grand?

Heh. Mach 1.03 during Pilot training in my T-38 Supersonic trainer. 1984 (20 years ago, last July). Yes, I was at the controls. Boy, did it feel undramatic. Not even a ripple or anything approaching what happened in "The Right Stuff". Controls felt a quite sluggish compared to the snappy turns we could make below Mach.

217 +/- 10 kph (the speedometer had already topped out at 130 mph) driving a Mazda RX-7 in 1973. My 18th birthday, on the highway to Las Vegas at 1 AM. What the heck, we're all indestructible at that age, right?;) "If it's Snowbird season, why can't we shoot them?" - Overheard in a bar in Bullhead City

I think I've had almost 70kph (46mph) out of a racing bike - slipstreaming a bus down a hill - not overly scary until I exited the slipstream and hit the turbulence from the bus X| Stuart Dootson 'Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p'

About 250 kph (over 155mph) on my daytona (triumph motorcycle) On a normal UK A road. The speed limit for the road was 96 kph or 60 mph as we like to say in the UK so it was a bit naughty. to be honest once you get over 100mph things get really scary so i wont be doing that again. Jon ;P
I was on a quiet Roman road near Litchfield, I first checked it was clear though! The main problem I had was stopping, it took a long time.

Porche 911 Carerra 4 - 267 kph on Milbrooke proving grounds (outside London). Renault 5 Turbo - 228 kph on the M8 in England. Gary While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.' - Dilbert
I beg your pardon but the M8 is not in England! It runs between Glasgow and Edinburgh which are most definitly in Scotland ;) Windows NT crashed. I am the Blue Screen of Death. No one hears your screams.
