Mine happily sat at 120 on cruise control on an autobahn on the way back from Austria a few years back. Wasn't really safe to stretch it any further due to the number of retards who appear to think it's acceptable to pull out on a car that's closing on them at 60 MPH over there. ::)

So, obviously, it hasn't been stretched any further than that. :-X

Had a trabant pull out on me on the 61 near koblenz while doing about 125 in my old Re2000 Golf  :o :o
Must admit, it scared the sh*t out of me  :'( :'(

Had 130 out of my first 2.5 v6 saloon when travelling back on the M62 about 2 am.
And it was still pulling  :o

You do realise that you have admitted to breaking the law in public dont you ?

I'll admit to 120 - and had the 3 month disqualification to prove it. Carlton 2.0 GL Estate, July 1989  :'(

Was hissing it down with rain as well, plus it was a side street and uphill at that.  Also had TC turned off, sadly when the wheels did grip i realised i wasnt actually moving at 155mph but only 20mph.

well to add to the debate

met someone recently who has just bought one of the audi A6 all road jobbies, big estate thing, ugly as sin.  anyway he started boasting about speed he can get from it.  anyways, got me thinking that I could probably still outrun his barge and so could most on here but mine is almost 10 years older and worth a tiny fraction of his.  not going to try it mind but its reassuing having the last laugh.

Never driven a mig over 100mph

Do Omega's do over 100 m.p.h.??
Gosh, that is awfully fast...

I once managed a court appearance for doing 100.7 in a Transit!

I've done 160mph in mine. In reverse. With Claire Balding gaffertaped to the roofrack.

Without supporting evidence, it's such an incredibly small chance that they'd bother tracking you down, never mind being able to prove it... especially for such a minor offence as speeding.

I do know of cases where people's forum posts have been used as "evidence of character" in a dangerous driving charge, however, soo... be careful out there!
