Top Speed
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!)

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.

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 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.
