Technical max speed worrys

My 1.9 cruises quite happily at 105mph at 3800 rpm in 6th gear (though of course I would never allow it to do this illegal activity!!)
I would ordinarily sit at around 70, but when the road is nice and quiet at 6 in the morning, it is fun to put the old right foot down a bit. Nice and safe to do when it's a straight road, with no side roads for PC Plod to hide down.

you sure you weren't in 5th as at those revs my mk2 jtd would be doing 121mph

I'm pretty sure I was in 6th, was maybe doing a bit more than 105 though. At speed, best not too take eyes off road for a second, so was checking one dial then back to road before checking other dial.
