What's the fastest you've ever driven ANYWHERE?

On the Autobahn, on a racetrack?

Mine's about 110mph on the autobahn in Germany - it's great fun, especially when most else is doing it too and you have a clear(ish) conscience about it, i.e. there's no speed limit.

I hit 114 mph in my Peugeot 405 SRI back in 1993.

It was on a French autoroute coming back from a family holiday in Spain.

When I dropped back to 95 mph. It felt slow!

Had a race day round goodwood in ferrari.
Doing over a ton but concentrating to much on the road to notice the speedo!

I don't think I've ever driven much above 100mph here, that's what a lifetime of Fiesta/Skoda ownership does for you.

I have been driven at about 140-150 by Johnny Herbert in a classic two-seater Jag round 4 laps of Silverstone. No roof, felt like my neck would break down the Hangar straight.

dont tell Mrs DTG as she was asleep, but in Austria last year, I drove at 145 MPH on the Insbruck/saltzburg motorway in a 2.0 Golf DTi

Felt great

Exactly the same! I doubt it's faster than i've driven on a road but it was well over a ton. Best part is i probably drive faster than almost everyone and always corner hard but in that car the guy from the company is TELLING me to go FASTER through the corners! I wish i was there again now, fantastic fun! :clap2:

I drove so fast round the M25 I caught up with myself in the fast lane and had to flash me to move over!

BTW doesn't that mean I've got the biggest willy of anyone on here?

127 on an autobahn, in a VW Vento.

[Dis]honourable mention goes to my 6-speed Fiat Panda VIP, that managed 99 on the M23. I bottled the 100 as it felt like things were about to start falling off!!

I was the proud owner of a Porsche 911 about 8 years ago, and I all but maxed it out once, speedo read 160.

It was probably on an Autobahn somewhere cos that speed would have been illegal in the UK.

did 130 as i just touched chelsea bridge from battersea, as i went hard on the brakes before the lights
did glasgow to portsmouth in 5hours, 40 mins ( 2 tem minute fag breaks and 20 minute food stop) and its just 500 miles
to be honest i can't be bothered now, too many speed traps and traffic, rather just potter at 65-70



ps if your in the police, this is all fictional, and made up, honest

Did about 150 in Texas a long time ago, it was in a Corvette which was fine in a very straight line, just as well it was a very straight (and deserted) road./
