    5kph over speed humps.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,106 ✭✭✭catallus


    My car can get to 120mph no problem but then it kind of plateaus off at that speed, it feels like there is more push in it but it might only go a bit faster and maintain at that speed. Possibly electronically limited? Who knows, I don't have too many opportunities to go that fast anyways.

    That's not a measure of how fast it is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,859 ✭✭✭✭Charlie19

    That's an engine spec and not a speed. It is meaningless when asking how fast it is.
    My own is a 2.0 170bhp but I don't know how fast it is because the speed limit is only 120kmph. I suspect it's capable of much more but we'll never know.

    2.3 light years per hour on 1/4 power (plasma drive) I haven't tried it on full power yet as I'm afraid I'll get stranded too far from Earth and not be able to get a phone signal to phone for someone to come fetch me.

    I'm Installing a photon drive in it when I save up the money. It'll be ten times faster then.

    I used to have a car with an 'Overdrive' button. Wish I still had one of those buttons.

    She does the 100m in about 13/14 seconds. Faster if I have the bottle of wine that's open.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    She was never a fast driver but then again she has a Micra.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,389 ✭✭✭NachoBusiness


    I'd much prefer to be able to drive over speed bumps and not feel them, than to have the ability to drive at 220.

    I prefer comfort over speed in my ride. Bentley Mulsanne would be sweet.

    You missed a crucial bit of information.
    Hint, you're asking for it in the title of this thread.

    Once in 1985 I drove so fast I ended up in 2015.

    The A6 is a fantastic car.. mine is the 3L TDI Quattro tiptronic version with 225 bhp (although I must get it checked sometime as I think the original owner may have gotten it remapped).

    Next one will be an A8 I think. Better again :)

    Peugeot 107 1.0.

    It's inexpensive to run, tax and insure - and that's all that matters. I've never been interested in how fast a car is. Not since I was a child anyway...

    People bragging about a diesel is very embarrassing.

    Adults bragging about their cars is embarrassing. I have a smashing washing machine, but you don't hear me going on about it (apart from now, but it really is good).

    Not fast enough to run from me.

    Only 1200, but still... it is (as my granny would say) absolutely bitchin'.

    Knowing anything about anything you own is embarrassing. My servants know all the details, I just sit back and get the benefits.
