If any of you guys have the cajones, I will provide the car for you to
qualify for the 130 MPH club - or the 150 MPH club. I will provide
all of the required safety equipment! I will pick you up at the
airport and bring ya to the course - all you have to do is pay the
entry fees and your food and hotel.

Check out this link for the details.

I expect most of you to quickly come up with some sort of previous
Engagement which you are about to schedule!

We have alot of fun there - Check out the list of 130 and 150 club

130mph? Done that. On Public roads. Legaly. On cruise Control.
(I wasn't in that much a hurry, and I didn't want to push the 2,4L
engine too hard - it wasn't my car)

Unfortunately, work retired their old, delimited, late '80s Audi[1]
after one colleague did a 300 mile journey in two hours, so I never
did get the chance to drive that magnificent beast. (290kph as per
speedometer was reported. Leaving behind M5s with their 155mph limiter
was reported)

I've since grown up - I only drive a 1.6L, so I stick to around 100mph
(60mph/whatever the traffic is doing when I'm on smaler country
roads). The car's already had 110,000 miles thrown at it in the last 7
years, I want it to last at least that much again (Saving up for a PPL
and a Kitfox 7 - don't want to buy a new car just yet, and not
afterwards if I can)

If you want more amusing responses to your "high speed" antics, post
to uk.rec.motorcycles, or anything with a de. infront of the name.
