I wonder if you aren't aware of your personal limits or don't acknowledge and enforce then. I have the same issue. I wrote them dowm this morning. That was my first step.

Yes I am aware, I need a challenge even though im old a buzz if you like , the road was not speed restricted it was one way traffic 2 lanes . It was not a complete spur of the moment act , I have travel the stretch of road many times and no its limits the weather was dry , but yes I know no fear. I had took a car that was a small diesel 86bhp and transformed it has a project, the car was lowered 60mm 17 inch wheels 215-17-40mm tyres, kn filter, and a plug in diesel power box, turning a granny car Nissan Micra into a 115 bhp 260 toque power stealth fighter. And no I am not afraid of death I have stared it in the face many times with my illness, even flat lined, live for today there may not be a tomorrow.

You are alright, sewerrats, alright

The highest I've taken an vehicle, was 105/110mph, I didn't like what the car was feeling like(like it, was having an anxiety attack), at that, but then again, it was no diesel engine! (I knew that stretch of hwy, fyi)...

I have always had fast cars last car Subaru Impretza STI you only crash once in a car like that, but the Nissan micra dieesel was an experiment to show you can modify any car with with little money and still have fun , I will see if I can find a pic without the number plates not showing for security

Hehe ...

Took my WS-6 up to 120 mph and shifted into 5th. Being a 6-speed I had 2 more gears to go. The speed governor would stop the car from going faster than 163 mph though.

AMERICAN MUSCLE CARS ,are not the point of this experiment they would not have :gone round those bends at 90-100mph you would end up in the field with rear wheel drive, there good at straight line and burning fuel . This is a baby Nissan micra HAMMERING bends not straight line at near 100 mph and returning 70mpg , in England we have great twisting road great for showing car skills, not mile and miles of straight roads ,we call them motorways for cars to travel in convoy from one end of the country to the other. Hot hatch cars are favoured for our b roads like fiat 5oo abarth, mini cooper S , ECT ECT fun cars not Smokey and the Bandit TRANS AM ,my son drives a GOLF VR6 and can go no faster round bends that my micra , that is what the experiment was for , mod a **** car into a good car.
