How fast have you driven?

[Seedler]

So how fast have you driven in a ground vehicle?

I had a ride in my dad's car, and he did like 180km/h on a country highway with no one around. I think I pissed my pants afterwards.

[Seedler]

Oh sry double post but I'm a Coyote w00t w00t!

[GepperRankins]

what's 65mph in merking money?

[Guillaume]

320 km/h in a TGV.

[zapjb]

Yes ago when I was a child. I was riding in the fanciest auto I'd ever been in. An old Bentley. My friends dad was driving. He asked me how fast I thought we were driving. As there was no traffic. I had to guess by the ride quality. I said around 70mph. He said take a look at the speedometer. It said around 107mph. Wow smooth ride.

I thought you were gonna say like 150mph or something.


I go 107mph on my way to work past the Junior School.

[ziggyjuarez]

Guess californians arnt welcome in this thread :(
Interesting system you got there

[GepperRankins]

1 mph = 1.609344 kph

[Seedler]

Ahh sry for being off topic, but how do i view who voted for which option?

[suprafreak6]

I was driving the other day with my permit, and i was driving my cousins car while he was in the passenger seat. He told me to hit 150 i was like are you joking me? So we went to this deserted road he knows that leads to a warehouse and thats all, so noone goes that way at night. So I hit 140 but thats all then hes like okay stop cuz the engine was not sounding good.

[zapjb]

Not many cars go over 120mph. I don't care what the speedometer says.

lol what car do were you driving? If you can't even hit 150 on a car, then it cant be a good car...

[zapjb]

How about specifying units, mph or kph.

[tesco]

I dont drive, with my dad i've gone like 130 maybe. :unsure:

One of the guy's I was working with for the last few months got caught doing 170km/h in a 70km/h zone :lol:
Was in court about it like a month ago but got off with no charges 'cause the police man didn't show up :01:

[Barbarossa]

185.07456 km/h by Dave's formula :unsure:

[jetje]

so around 260 km/h (160 mph) in my brothers Porsche 996. The German Autobahn is the place to do that. :cool:

Btw probably won't be doing that no more after i crashed recently @ 100kmh (62.14 mph) and saw (and still feeling) the damage, don't wanna try to imagine what it looks like at speeds over 200 kmh :shutup:

[sArA]

120 mph in my Mazda down the M69 .....

[enoughfakefiles]

:dry:

[GepperRankins]

how many of you noobs lied?

i've been 110mph, but i've driven 65mph :smilie4:

[j2k4]

About 155mph in a re-geared Shelby GT-KR 500, 1968 vintage.

A buddy of mine read about the "Blue Nun", which was a Shelby modified for cross-country racing.

Neat ride...;)

[Chewie]

Going by what the speedo shows...
Around 100mph in my '95 Daewoo Nexia 1.5 SOHC (!) up the M1 on the way to Mecca (Elland Road to the heathens).
About 120mph in a hired Pug 306 on the way to Mini-Hollywood in Spain.

[Seedler]

Hey a lot of you guys (and girls) seem to know much about cars, so maybe we should ask da admins to start a Auto Section.

[DRACOJOE2]

160 mph in a 1973 SD 455 trans am

[Dark Steno]

Nearly 150 kph.

[Mr. Mulder]

70mph on a dual carriageway. :smilie4:

speeding is wrong and stupid. :smilie4:

[jetje]

speeding is wrong and stupid. :smilie4:

strange comment cause there are places that allows you to drive as fast as you like, for instance most of the german Autobahn :rolleyes: .
So what is your definition of speeding? Driving faster as allowed or just fast driving?
If you drive fast in a car that's built for it it is pretty safe so not stupid and if it's allowed in the place your at it's not even wrong...:schnauz:

I think he meant "speeding" as in "driving over the speed limit" ;)

American cops love to hear this stuff. :P

I know; I tried that when I was about 17.

An extra ticket; can't remember for what. :(

On the way home yesterday, I went 125mph (492kph). My car is being fixed after some old bloke went into the front of it - I was driving a Vectra.

Had to rush because the match was starting at 3pm and I left Plymouth at quarter to one. 150 miles in two hours seemed a tad optimistic but I did it :01:

Don't worry, his hourly rate is quite reasonable. Well, not so reasonable in dollars, actually :unsure:

by any chance was it the back of his car that ran into the front of yours? :smilie4:

[lynx]

About 135mph (215kph) in my bosses car (him driving).
About 125mph (200kph) driving, Begram to Carmarthen in 20 mins FTW.

[Tempestv]

125 in my '92 saab 900s 2.1L non turbo for about 10 seconds (just to see if the car really could max out the speedometer- it did) in the middle of South Dakota at 1:00 in the morning. The rest of the drive was at a lowly 105. Yes, Montanans know how to shorten distances. Damn I miss reasonable and Prudent. a speed limit that adjusts for road conditions and car capability

I almost forgot, 150+ in a cessna, so close to the ground that we might as well have been on the ground- >10ft

that is an avrage of 75- what is the speed limit there? I would expect to go that fast at least while driving on the interstate. I made it from Corvallis Mt to Bozeman Mt (250 miles) in an hour and a half, missed my mom's mark at 2 hours and 15 minutes

You need to take into account the UK motorway traffic would have been pretty heavy at that time on a saturday, and also the fact that he had to stop to pay to get into Wales :schnauz:

150 miles in 2 hours was pretty good going.

ya, I love wide open roads, take off from Corvallis, drive to Bozeman, 250 miles away and never go below 75 exept when you go through some little town (4), and still never never coming to a compleat stop once.

[Afronaut]

Just a lil' over 200km/h in Germany, autobahn.

I've done that drive on several occasions, as I used to live in Plymouth but travelled home to Wales a lot - only a few times, out of maybe sixty or seventy trips, have I done it in under two hours.

The M5 is in perpetual flux involving traffic cones, tractors, combine harvesters and speed cameras. One has to be careful :smilie4:

[peat moss]

As fast as my MGB could go to beat a train at a crossing , about 100 mph almost did n't make it . Not recomended but was by myself and drunk , high on acid and late for a party . :ph34r: Why is being young {at the time } an excuse for being stoopid ? :D

I was going a little fast. (I can only imagion what it must have been like in my mom's truck, there was an emergency with my dad getting injured, so she was in a hurry)

[Skiz]

137 MPH which equates to 220.47958 KPH :01:

[Tempestv]

left home at 4:00, pulled off the interstate at 6:45. slight side trip thru butte that took fifteen minutes, total time actually driving- 2.5 hours. I guess it is a little shorter the way I go, like 235 miles (mapquest tells you 249.6 if my memory serves me correctly, but it follows 93 to missoula and then I90 to Bozeman.) It may be an even better time due to the fact that the way I go is twisty, cant go as fast as on the interstate. I was going 110 a good portion of the time in the flats (good thing there was no cops out) can't testify for what my mom said for her time, I wasn't born yet, they were also living a little closer at the time, but I still think it was faster than me. I guess there is a reason that her cars always catch a nickname with the word bullet in it- silver bullet, speeding bullet, ect. well gotta go, driving home now, probably take 4-5 hours, my truck isn't as fast as my car was. (tops out at 95, don't like to push 85, plus I gotta stop more.)

[Proper Bo]

127mph =~204kph?

A little fast?

250 miles in and hour-and-a-half?

That's quite the truck that'll average in excess of 160 mph.

Er- I said 2.5 hours- 4:00 to 6:45 with a fifteen minute break- total time on the road- 2.5 hours. that is an average of 100mph. of course the first 150 miles were not on the interstate and there where some parts that are twisted as fuck, plus passes and such. most of the Flat stuff was at 110.

[manker]

No. You said an hour and a half.

Two and a half hours is much more realistic :)

[Tempestv]

must have been a typo, my bad. I even said that I did it in 1.5, missing my moms speed at 2.25 hours, so the whole post makes no sense. I corrected my self later though. oh, and I did that in my saab sedan, my mom had a datsun pickup. as for the truck that goes 160, I want it!!!
