Anyway, lets keep things in perspective and on topic - 100bhp is not exactly extreme!! There are lots of 'everyday' cars out there that produce sigificantly more. Also, I aint no remap guru but I'm guessing it just produces 100hp in a very narrow band at peak revs?

Whilst unlikely, insurance companies can and will check on mileages if they suspect fraud or can wriggle out of paying a claim. They can ask to see MOT certificates which carry mileage data and also service records to check that the car is maintained and fit to drive on the road - these also carry mileage data. The reason that they ask for mileage per annum data is that obviously the risk of accident is statistically related to the mileage driven and so a deliberate under estimating of your annual mileage on your insurance proposal could be looked at as an attempt to provide misleading information and to nullify your policy. The insurance companies aren't going to be interested in excuses about 'girlfriends oop north'. In dealing with insurance companies it is better to play it safe IMHO.
Come to think of it, when I was 19 I was driving a 1972 Fiat 500! I used to get some hilarious speeds out of it - down hill after about 10 minutes I had it up at 70mph a few times - significantly more dangerous then a modern 100hp 500, but then again I was nnnnn19!!
I'll need to check the small print in my insurance documents. I'll be very surprised if it makes mention of service records. Are you suggesting that without a full service history my insurance is invalid? Sound like ******** to me. I do my own servicing on our cars when out of warranty period, and I can assure you they are cared for very well.
Somewhere in the small print it will probably say that they can ask for any documents they deem relevant. I had a car written off after a serious accident and they asked for the service book (presumably to see if the car had a FSH - relevant to it's pre-accident condition and value). A colleague was also asked for this info when reporting a stolen car. Once in their possession it's a simple job to check mileages. In cars over 3 years old they will of course ask for the MOT certificate, which gives mileages.
