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!)
I gunned the Kombi, and got her up to 130 kmh, it was scary man, eyes were blerring, trouble breathing, and the G force was incredible!
Rob.....
193 MPH (308ish KPH) for 2 hrs in an aircooled with eight cylinders 360hp fuel injected. :thumb
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.

Ohhh come on Pete, ya just made me look like the person I truly am. A DAG!
Rob....
Hehehe, I was cheatin though. A Kombi goes about it with much more style.
about 900kph in a 737, felt slow though. I wasn't driving either
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
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

Fastest I've been in a VW: 75mph, with my 36hp wheezing away, down hill, with a strong tail-wind.

Man I could do some bragging here, like the time in a Blackhawk just above the beach at full noise, or a ride in a current airforce jet, but i wont.
260 kph im my mates 1962 Ford Anglia!!! with 1800 rpm left till redline (260 is all the speedo goes too)
Do admitt It is not even close to stock tho
Sam, that would be 206 km/h!
:o
FASTEST ON LAND SO FAR AND LEGAL 340 KMs on the Bullet train out of Tokyo.
Was smooth as , much smoother than the 117 kms on 223cm downhil skies clocked with a radar gun at Thredbo a few years ago , now that was real fast
very hard to see and very hard to stop.
MitCHevLl.
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.
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
