i posted my top speed, so not being of the shy variety i thought i would post a pic of my baby 😀
135mph-ish...It was late at night on the 5 freeway. ZOOM! I was scared ******** when a turn came up. I Actually managed to stay in lane i was in, which was the far left one. Scary scary scary. Oh, it was in my dads 2001 BMW 5-Series.

The fastest I've driven is 110 mph in a Ford Aspire. I didn't think that my car could go that fast.

195mph on the A9 between Inverness & Perth, Scotland, UK
170mph on the 101 just south of Santa Barbara, CA, USA
210mph+ driving south to Alice Springs from Darwin, North Territory, Oz
190mph on the M25 orbital, M1, and M6, on a marathon drive from Reading to get to work on time in Stirling, Scotland, after a U2 gig on a sunday night...
the two UK ones were on empty roads (A9 clears during the middle of the day, M25 quiet at 2.20am!). the 101 wasn't busy but when you've got a 600bhp Mustang from your uncle you HAVE to drive it fast. and in Oz, well, it's illegal not to try getting to the top speed when you have a road 1000+ miles long, straight, perfect tarmac, no other cars on the road!
i've not done any speeding for 10 months now, just because i think i've worked it out of my system!

30MPH with my Dad taking me out to drive for my first time. That was a year ago and I don't even have my permit now. 😱😀

along M4 - M25 - M1... it's all clear north of heathrow.
out in Oz it was in a quite stunning Saleen S7, and over here in Britain, they were both in my boss' Aston Martin Vanquish.. which i never wanted to give back to him... sometime soon i better own one 🙄
i've been caught once for speeding - and that was doing 75mph (the limit on the road, for vans, was 60mph) up a hill in a friend's van, of all things, while helping him move up to uni. grr. 🙄
Used to drive 120+ on the highway in my 95 Maxima. Speed limiter kicks in aroubd 118 I think, but after a while I took that off.

Weak...I got my Specialized Hard Rock up to 41mph. That was pointing downhill though...
141 mph in a '96 VW GTI VR6
107 mph in an Impala rental. The digital readout told me, "electronically limited to 107 mph -- playtime's over, kids..."
What's the deal with those damned governors anyway? 😡
