it was motorway at about 2am coming from manchester to newcastle.

we were doing 126mph staying about 20 car lengths behind a BMW X5 (we couldnt get any closer :lol until he pulled off for petrol and we were all on our own.

P.S. i wouldnt do those speeds with a car full either only when its me by myself.
