Ok, I'm not a cop.. all i want to know is the maximum velocity you hav reached, where and what you have driven to attain this. Doesn't have to be in a VW...
Disclaimer: I'm not encouraging or do I support speeding. (this is not to say it don't!)

From Port Maquarie to Lord Howe Island @ 9000' on my lonesome, CD playin, heater on, (Espatcher (sp)) GPS gone down and hoping that the Island will come up sooner or later. Kinda fun.

just over 130mph in my brother in laws 1964 Jensen CV8 Mark 111 down what is now the M4 , racing what was then a brand new Torana SLR5000 L34 bathurst special , one day I will tell my brother inlaw,
135mph down the same road in my 1958 Austin Healey 100/6 (drum brakes that usually had nothing left at the end of the main straight at Oran park from 90 mph
100mph in the Humber, just to see if it would do it, James Ruse Drive (TERRIFYING!)
& 130kmh in my original Kombi, which actually seemed quite comforetable
Please, I need drivers side window regulator (winder mechanism) for my '54
280 on a ZX9 racing a few friends on a deserted highway up the coast 🙂 (still got beat though)
The bug will sit on 160km/h just about dead on 5000rpm in 4th gear. it will hold it up hill and won't go faster down hill. thats on a back road near beaudesert on my way from and to work each day. But a new engine and I should be able to get faster.
fastest i have been is 210 in a mates 180sx, south of byron bay😀

A Tatra perhaps?
I'v been 192 ish in a 97 Civic up near Benambra (near where the bushfires were a little while ago)... sitting in 4th on 6900 rpm with 2 passengers and a full boot on 'Classic 65' tyres... just wouldn't go any faster. I wanted to ditch all the excess wieght and do another run in the opposite direction... but didnt.
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
200kph in datsun
coming from wollongong tocampbelltown
an old shitty 260z datsun
and 160Kph in toyota echo down mt ousley on way to uni

I accidentally did 130 km/h in someones (currently dead) turbo kombi, driving down the Hume Hwy. It seemed quite comfortable... probably why I did it...
Wolf's made it to around 75 m/h. I'm tame I know 🙂

I think if your at 9000 feet in a tatra then you got problems.

Weekly runs down the m4 headed for penrith, or on the way to the runs on the hume hwy, running with the fast fours mob, i reguarly clocked my old 72 super...
Then let off the gas and watched 5 foot flames shoot out and light the place up...
The fellas loved it :P
210km/h down the melb. geelong highway on L's plates 😉

FASTEST ON LAND SO FAR AND LEGAL 340 KMs on the Bullet train out of Tokyo.

MitCHevLl😎.
23 windows ...8 too many!
I did 200+ between Port Hedland and Broome in WA in an old ford LTD 351. The road is lined with 9-10 feet high grass. A bull ran out from the left straight across the road and into the grass on the other side. Scared the shit out of me, then a couple of minutes later I put the high beam on and there was a water buffalo (I think) standing in the middle of the road. His tail went up one fender and over the roof.... I slowed down to 120 after that. Felt like I was going at a walking pace. The best drive ever was last year though, driving a Lamborghini Miura through the Adelaide hills. Who cares how fast.
"Tell him 'We've already got one'"
Oh yeah, got clocked by the police doing 110kph on my road bike (bicycle) when I used to race them, going down the esses at Mt Panorama
