    Now imagine doing it nearly 100 years ago without a century’s of advanced technology or a $250k vehicle. Now that’s a record.

    How fast have YOU driven a vehicle? Any idea what happens past 120mph? Any clue what kind of shit can go wrong at that speed? I've been 189mph. One time. Never again. Unless you've actually BEEN that fast - you have zero idea what you're talking about.

Any idiot can drive fast (So'ton to Eastbourne 58mins - err how fast is that on aveage) Only time wasted? My responding to a post by someone that's never been above 200 doubt you've hit 200kmh....
