I got hung out in the left lane and had to merge. Rolled the minivan up to 85mph to get in. 2 minutes later, the lady I passed did the same to me.

well, here's my record:
155 km\h in a..... get this, stock 1994 lada samara (1300), it just didn't go faster, my mom was driving, it was just b4 we sold it, my dad decided to see how fast it'll go so he told mommy to floor it :)

next, in a mitsubishi lacer, again stock, 1500 engine, 1992. with my friend (and another 3 friend :) ) we did 172 km\h he was driving

now the fatest i've driven is just over 140 km\h i believe, that was in my (parents') xsara (yes, again stock) with a 1.8L

I used to be a backup driver for a Cascar team back in the late 80's. (kind of like the canadian equivalant of Nascar, only the hp , weight, etc is more like a busch series car) Have done 202 MPH in testing, drafting with three other cars.Never got that fast during a race, since cascar is run primarily on short tracks. Fastest I've driven on a street was 255 kmh (speedometer reading, anyway) on my '94 Yamaha YZF SP. Just wanted to see what it would do. I know I wasn't quite going that fast though, because according to the tests on that bike in magazines at that time it only had a top speed of around 235-240 if I remember right.

wow arent u lucky? a driver for a racing team, why did u stop?

anyways, this happened a few months ago, think this january wen i was in the u.k and i totally 4got to post it until now. so anyways, i was crusing in my uncles 318i (very comfortable i must add) travelling @ i think 65 mph, goin 2 pick up my cousin from uni, wen an enzo overtook us. u can imagine the look on my face, the 1st time i've actually seen an enzo in real life *drool*. anyways wen we picked up my cousin, i told her wat i saw. she then laughed and asked my uncle 2 turn into a certain street. and guess wat i saw.....a friggin ferarri, porsche and maserti dealership and and more that enzo was parked in the front :shock: i nearly needed shock treatment after that.

basically because I couldn't get a full time ride, and I had only gotten into 4 races in 3 seasons, so I just started racing stock cars at a local track.

I think its the fact that even the Focus RS would have a difficult time doing 145mph, never mind a base model X3 with an air filter, and a V8 conversion kit which he sold to buy some wheels. (*cough* yeah right *cough*)
