What's the fastest you've ever driven?

Chemical Burn

Sorry if this has been done before, but, my search yielded nothing.

fastest I have driven was 145 kph on way back from Belfast North o' the Border, taking advantage of the fact that the NI speed cameras can't pick up a Republic License Plate and the PSNI can't chase you over the border for speeding although it's soon to change ... YOU ?? Was it in a car/ bus / truck / motorbike?

Doom

About 160mph on a motorcycle........in Mondello :pac:

Mint Sauce

On Irish roads?

120kph of course.

Basq

8mph..

.. push-biking like a bitch!

Melion

185/190kmh, driving a quiet dual carriageway at 1am when I finished work.

Check point rumbled me but luckily I knew the guard, I had served him in the bar the night before. He told me to slow down next time, the stink of rubber burning when I put the window down was disgusting.

They just wait till the next time they see you in NI and bring you to the nearest ATM if you dont have the fine on you.

I wasn't driving, but fastest I have ever gone in a car is 140 mph. Out on the highway, in a remote area in the USA. Scared me half to death.

Soft inda Head

Went to visit a friend in Munich a few years back and she collected me from the airport. She works for bmw and had one of their jeeps at the time. She was on the autoban doing 250kph. There is nothing more unnerving as being in a car going so fast and you have no control over it. She was up the arse of a Porsche flashing at it to get out of her way at one stage! I'm sure that I left nail marks on her leather passenger seat a faint wiff of urine too!

Dwork

30 mph in a Ferrari Dino down hampstead high street in London. Wasn't the fastest, but jasus it was the bestest.

Frank Black

I achieved the max speed possible in a '93 Corolla once.

I'd love a good car to go on the autobahn for a while. Yeahhhhh :cool::cool:

In ireland? Eh, 120 of course... ...

amacca

286km/hr briefly...... crouched on a bike trembling in sheer terror behind my visor and the bikes screen with my hand like a claw around the throttle

never went there again afterwards, never want to.......and i like speed very much


(unless its in a less exposed more stable feeling race car or something)

Mr Benevolent

No fupping way I'm telling anyone the the fastest I've driving. Flown, on the other hand, is easy. 100mph at 50 feet. Perfectly legal, too.

0ph0rce0

209 kph

On the way back to Dublin from Gorey, Squeaky bum time.

Sam Kade

100 mph in 1987 in a corolla down Cork Mallow road :eek:

ShadowHearth

Had done 240km/h once in my old car. First and last time I do something so stupid. Was cool though.

spank_inferno

managed to brush 165 km/h in a Skoda Fabia on the M11 near ashford once.

I would not do that again.

mickdw

I wouldnt really pass 160 170 kph even on a deserted motorway.

GTDolanator

was this a powered flight or some sort of adrenaline fuelled wing suit escapade?

Back in '96, I did a foreign exchange to Germany. The father picked me up in his new E230 and when we joined the Autobahn, he turned around and asked me did I mind speed, I was pure excited to even be on the Autobahn and said of course not. He kept going 'til the car wouldn't accelerate any more. About 235kph. I remember that the car felt steady and the aerial was whistling like mad.

Last year I drove my 1.6TDi Yeti on the Autobahn and hit 180 - 185kph a few times. Car felt fine, would cruise at 180 no bother, but there wasn't any more left in it at that.

There was one time in Ireland when a relative picked up his new (secondhand) bike, a CBR1000 and I was following him in a '96 T5 on a very straight road. But Boards isn't the place for that conversation... Let's just say that the bike was faster

In the days when I was a foo, I drove to cork flat out in a mondeo. I noticed a blue speck far, far behind. Eventually, after a long while of flat outeyness, the speck grew larger. I slowed out of curiosity and it turned out the speck was a gard who had been chasing me for 20 minutes. He was surprisingly angry, I thought he would have enjoyed the blast.

admiralofthefleet

about 4 miles an hour going vrrroooooom with my son hanging on for dear life

Ah sure if I was a the gard that day I would have congratulated you on your manliness and providing me with a jolly good challenge and sent you on your way with a smile and a kindly word of advice

I like the way you slowed after the speck grew larger during the flat out ness due to curiosity - and not giving in to the inevitable, you've got a bit of fight in you haven't you?

Pherekydes

175 km/hr in a Volvo 740 saloon on the Leixlip by-pass many years ago.

The fastest I've gone in my present car is 153, probably on the same road.

I'd say that was 208 or maybe 210:D

Lia_lia

Not very fast!

My younger brother often drives 180-190 km/h on the motorway up to Dublin, though. Sometimes I don't even notice it until I look at the speedometer/other drivers finger give us the finger. He needs to cop on.

newmug

110 Mph in a 14 year old Landcruiser. She was well able for it too.

In my defence, I was young, dumb and had just serviced it. I needed, very badly, to know how fast it actually could go, as you do when you are 20, male, and awash with invincibility. And it was 5am in the morning. And after he ate the head off me, he let me off. So, he was sort of like you.

donegaldude

125mph up north one time at 6 am on a Sunday.
On my bicycle with a tail wind and help off a truck coming down the hill into letterkenny from ballybofey I hit 63mph. The eyes were fair watering even with glasses on.
