Nearly 2 years ago, Calum & I done a charity track day at RAF Marham in Norfolk.
The track was massive about 4 mins a lap! - main straight was the 2nd runway.
Entry speed round a bend onto the main straight was over 80
you were going flat out down the straight for 46 secs (according to the go pro)
got a bit boring to be honest.....
I got my Exige almost flat out - reading 150mph on the clock.
When you had to brake for the bend at the end - you jump on the anchors, thinking you are doing 60 or 70, but you are still doing 100 :shock:

Two negatives make a positive but only in Scotland do two positives make a negative - 'Aye right.'

Vmax'd the old E34M5 Touring I owned a good few years back, pretty impressive on the Autobahns of Germany driving a 1991estate car at 176mph and felt totally stable with it. That straight six was epic 😉

167 on the GPS in the 340. Clocks were jammed past their max, it still had a bit to go too. Lifted off as lost concentration and started laughing as D was in flyby mode.

Indicated 130 in the S1, for a long time too.

You have an S1 with a K series.. I'll put you out of your misery, you'll get 100mph in a 2 mile strip, 120mph down hill with the wind behind you on a smooth 5 mile stretch :damnfunny :blackeye :leave

I was expecting a reply something like this... "depends if the AA wagon is speed limited or not"......
Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....
