    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
    Yeah, well our roads have corners.

    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
    I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

    I think something is a little off, here...

    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 . Why is being young {at the time } an excuse for being stoopid ?

    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)

    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.)

    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.
