not 'on speed' cat... but bollocks about your cars etc.
Have you ever been flat out with a psgr requesting to end the enjoyment?
Think i have been asked to slow down twice now, and maybe once by myself (I think thats a biiiit tooo fast)
Once with Mr stocker at 140.
Once with Dale at 160+ and involving a corner :/
And once with me at 180+ psgr was either too scared to speak or was ok with it.
Icy didnt mind 160+ once either.
I used to drive the green corsa around flat out on motorways quite a bit, hitting 135 easily. Side by side with ross at 120 on the phone ptff (not a wise idea).
Dont really do it now. I have tried to get 110 once in the RR, but it ran out of puff getting to show 3 figures.
Just sharing some of my tales that i dont think i'll do again.
<all speeds are leptons per hour, and never actually happened>

I ride an r6 i know bikes are alot different and alot less safer than cars as well, but i've hit 160 but i'll never do it again the force was unreal and getting there wasn't a problem either.
Normally when i'm out now i stick between 80-110 but it's all country roads mainly which is fun

Always get told too slow down
One time comes too mind. me and beardy down a country lane at 130ish pitch black with hardly no brakes
infact he was screaming
 .
i wait for the comments. but the proof is in the pudding. ive been driving like this for 5years now..
ive done 160mph and i felt 100% safe.
170 on a back of a bike.
It all depends how comfortable you are with yourself etc

Laughed my frikking arse off at the Adam. 
Oh, and by the way, yes, frequently. 
And not even when flat out.
Almost made a mate cry once.

Fastest I have ever been was 140mph in a V6 Cavalier... Obviously this was on the clocks so 'real' speed will be less.
I can't go fast in my Astra, doesn't seem to like going over 105mph!
Ex bird didn't like me driving fast, was used to her mum driving her around doing 20mph in 4th gear or something...

Incidentally Adam, what did you do 160+ in, and more importantly, what did you do 180+ in?

would have been his supra, was 450bhp iirc?
Ive been indicated 160 in my STi 4, which kinda led to its demise. felt very stable though and had the brakes to drop to 100 in a couple of seconds lol.
indicated 150 in my Vectra GSi at 4am once, nothing else around, didnt feel all that safe in this car.
Indicated 145 in ibiza Cupra, dodgy as fcuk it was all over the place.
Never taken my current impreza over 120, although it will hit limiter due to gearbox long before it runs out of steam.
Im more of the thinking that i dont really like high speeds to much these days either though.
