RE: how fast have you personally been

Hooligans, the lot of you!

Foot to the floor and balls-out on the Autobahn is good fun, but gets pretty tedious after a while and you soon take the speed for granted. The most fun is to travel at around 100/120mph on forest tracks, or tarmac roads just wide enough to take a car, preferably at night! 😉

Before I got old and sensible (okay, boring then!) I used to do rather a lot of motor rallying and it is the ultimate rush in a wheeled vehicle! Flat out in 5th gear across closed MoD ranges in Wales stands out (about 135mph) as does seeing most of County Cork through the side window of an Escort RS2000 it had that much oversteer!

Alas, all of this seems an awful long time ago now, certainly a long time before the internet caught on, but finding this piece on-line came as a nice surprise a couple of weeks back:

Best wishes to all for a happy and successful 2003
