Re: Whats the top speed you have got out of your Punto???

Two days ago I was in quite a hurry to get home as the post office in my village closes at 18:00 rather than 16:00. I had a package to pick up and they are not open on Saturdays. I left work at 16:55 and arrived at 17:59 to cover the 50 miles between the two. Doesn't sound like much, but there was some heavy traffic backed up before I got to the motorway and even then things were not going very quickly. We don't have as many radars in Belgium as they have in the UK so I got a little past 180 KmH on the speedo, or about 113 MpH from time to time where traffic permitted. My little car has almost 130,000 miles so I'm not in the habit of doing this to the poor girl. I normally cruise between 130and 140 and sometimes up a little more on the way to work as I go against the traffic flow.

I thought it was a ban for more than a ton?

Wish I'd found out how fast mine went! should have tracked it at donny, fastest it went was off the clock (120 on speedo) and was still going...so probs about 110
