If you are central though, the westway between shepherds bush roundabout and bayswater my dad calls the test track of central, have got up to around 160-70 in the IS-F (have a film somewhere will upload it) and most people cruise up there around 100 at least, even though they have that new ridiculous speed limit of 40mph on it.
It will be the first place that I take my car no matter what it is ahah

I have had a Brabus, and the best thing about it is you know it's been done properly and has full factory backup.

Brabus are awesome, we had one too, the old s class - thing was a rocket but felt so damn secure too

does anyone here like cars more then bikes?

The reason they reduced the speed limit from 50 (which meant everyone drove at 70) was because there are long-term major works being done to the underside and underneath sections of the road. I often see motorbikes pulled over by the cops, however the distance of view means your a fucking numpty if you get caught there.

Any signs you see suggesting there are cameras up there are lies. I travel on there at my max whenever the traffic is low, however approaching a ton some of the apparent straight lines can become quite substantive corners.

And I would imagine that most of the regular posters here prefer cars to bikes (I certainly do).

Dammit, what about the M20 from junction 2 at the top of Wrotham Hill down to jct 4? You'll get a nice quick speed increase down the hill, then from there it's ever so slightly downhill for 3 miles or so until the M26 joins from the left.

And it's only down the road.

Citroen Numèro 9 Concept car should definitely go into production!

a ton? what car do you have? :P
we have a v1 in it so never a problemo with the fuzz

I love cars way more that bikes here too

Classic Range Rover LSE. Until I get my new wheels I'm on R-rated tyres so can't exceed that without risking them blowing up, esp under 2.8 tonnes (dry weight) worth of car. She'll do a hell of a lot more though.

Do the V1's work these days? I thought all the cameras in the UK were induction looped now, hence the move to GPS speed camera detectors...

Ours picks up the fixed cameras around london and the police cars with chaps pointing guns at us :)
doesn't do the average speed cameras though

imo its much more worthwhile to invest in a good jammer

Do they have average speed cameras in London or is it just on the dual carriageways/motorways?
The average speed cameras they have on the M4 never work. If they did the company I used to work for would have about 500 tickets to deal with.

Current company vans have trackers so we have to be a little more sensible.

its all a bit dogy really, we've been through cameras at like 130-40 and nothing happens

it begins

What was it? Something american?

First aventador catching on fire
in california

Tbh I wouldn't want to do more than a ton on the A40, like farmer says the dynamics of the road change significantly above that speed, and the risk of other drivers pulling on to the road is too much of a risk IMO.

I have done about 150 on that stretch on a motorbike, and TBH by the time I got up to 150, I had to slam the brakes on to get back down to a safe speed before the dual carriageway onto Marlylebone Road.

No room or time for any sort of error.
