Odd you should ask that today, as by coincidence, I took my 3.0 up to around 210kmh (around 130mph) until some wally decided he needs to be the police and pulls into the outside lane (only 2 lanes) to overtake a truck well before he really needs to (in order to slow me down) .... and then the response to my flashing lights .... was a wagging finger, as though to say naughty boy, you should drive that fast. Sod you, it's de-restricted.

Never driven a mig over 100mph
Dont like too much speed on a motorway.
