I was well and truely toasted by a Ford Fiesta 1.6 the other night. It looked bog standard no big exhaust, fancy wheels etc. He got to 120 extreeeeemly quickly. Well I was left totally gobsmacked. If he did have some amasing power plant in there it was well Cam oH! flag ed. He must have a...

I wasnt at all bothered about hitting the brakes at my very illegal speed. My car brakes just as straight at that speed as it does any other speed. I dont get any of the wibbly wobbly like I feared in the 172. Just the damn cheek of him resorting to tricks cause he couldnt keep up that annoyed...

Not the sensation of speed as in the 172 fealt quite dangerous at these speeds and dreaded the thought of braking suddenly. I mean I seem to cover much more ground in the V6 at 130 ie get there sooner.

I keep seeing loadsa orions with what look like Mondeo bumpers on front and back. Trouble is they are about 5 inches wider than the rest of the car and look like a big stupid pile of mess. WHY ? Why? Why?

Oh Joe such memories, I had a nice Mini once too. We put a Maxi 1750 twin carb engine in it. The floor was made out of twin tub washing machine sides. "it went like sheeeeeeeeeeeeet !!.." tooooo. ( For a wee while )

Some say what goes around etc. One day a real blue light will come on in the car in front of them

Ive had my V6 "on the edge" as it were a few times and I can safely say Id prefer my old 172 at these times. The 172 would obligingly lifts its rear wheel of the ground but still hugs the bends. The V6 just shifts over more. The V6 cornering is rather BORING ( or safe feeling ) in...

m@thew . I have only touched 155 a few times (briefly) but just how accurate the speedo is at that speed is questionable. The book says tops at 147 but my 172 indicated much more than the book said. What I cant understand is why at 130 I seem to be much much faster than 130 in the 172...

Well I must admit I might have done similar when I was 11. The V6 will pull away just until a 172 is barely noticable if the road is long enough, but then who knows he may have slowed right down.

Im still waiting to hear how the EVO boys get on with their "Dirty" exhaust.

Red 172 A127 last night. Wanted a wee race so I obliged. He backed off at about 135mph. I carried on just to create a nice wee gap. I got to about 150 looked in the mirror and saw flashing blue light. So of couurse I slammed on the stoppers. I was the red 172 he had a wee blue strobe...
