Well they actually had no evidence on me at all as they were only equipped with a calibrated speedo.

He charged me with doing between 100 and 105, but was insistant that he knew I had braked from at least 120.

Good job he didn't have a camera on board.

170 on clocks, 168 on GPS in boxster.
Going downhill a slight gradient with wind behind me etc etc etc

Took ages to get to it

Hard for people to take pics whilst they're trying to hold on, but i got some of 150+

140+ in corsa, same above, slight gradient etc. feels fucking scary and passengers start holding onto things very tight, windscreen wipers look like they want to die

i overtook an off duty officer, at 95ish on a 60 contry road, went up to indicated 147mph, he tried to chase me for a little bit then when i pulled over soon after, he blocked me in and went crazy.

i got off with it though.

ive had a fair few hairy moments, escpecially in the corsa

My car doesn't really do much speed.

I was passenger in my mates VR6 doing 150 (on the clocks) and still pulling and it scared the shit out of me. Was just thinking to myself that I hope we dont have a blow out or we are well and truly fucked

I dont like much over 110-120 even if I'm driving. Seems pointless

I got a bit scared when I was sitting on the floor of SteveW's car holding onto a seatbelt because he had no seat in the passenger side when he went off the clocks...

my limit is over 105mph tbh

i think it takes a corsa so long to get there by the time it does your worn out with worry, wots that noise will the tyre blow out etc, plus you get blown about if its windy

i think if i had a decent car getting over 100mph would be safer
