130km/hr on the motorway into Brisbane. No faster, ever, honest.

A few times I had pushed my Nissan Maxima to 130 mph.

Once I was a passenger in my dads turbo mustang and he had it @ 140mph.

Fastest I ever drove was in a former friends 1972 Maserati Ghibli. This was many years ago. I don't know the exact speed as I quit glancing at the speedo at around 150 mph. Trees along the 2 lane East Texas 'piney woods' road were apporaching warp speed and small bumps felt like mountains.

90mph on the interstate, just to see what it was like. Didn't feel all that different, so I went back down to 75 (5 above the speed limit).

I don't remember exactly but it was in the 80's (mph) my T-Bird won't go but so high.

I was moving along and I missed a turn on a small country road back in Indiana, hit some ice, ran into the berm, became air borne and landed in a dormant corn field. It was fantastic. Some farmers came along and got my Black Bird back on the road, that was sweet of them.

Don't know, exactly. I was on a motorcycle, and gave a glance at the speedo once I was decelerating. I saw it fall under 150mph. Why didn't I look sooner? I was busy. Things were happening fast.

Did it once. Glad I did. Never need to do it again.

24 km/hr or 15 mph... on a bicycle.

I've actually gotten above 70mph on my bike before, but that was back when I lived at the base of a mountain with a long, straight stretch of road down the side of it.

135mph / 210kph. I've dived a plane slower than that. Going downhill on part of the M62 as it crosses the Pennines. Not bad for a 1.6 Fiat Bravo. (On the off chance you look 'em up, you'll see that that's considerably faster than their given top speed; mine had some funny tuning and was a lot faster than the other identical-spec Bravo I had after it. I loved that car.) :lol:

My Astra can barely manage to crawl to 90mph. But I'm not driving like such an idiot these days, thankfully.

Sweet! I love old Masers like the Ghibli and the Merak and the Khamsin, inspite of their faults. :)

here is a longer video of me coming back from the north coast after seeing my father.
i am in a holden commodore sv6 and the car in front was driving very fast so i decided to use him as a radar trapper. i did not pass him because he would have been the one to excite the police radar first so i stayed behind him.
the speed in this next video ranges from 150kph to 230 kph.


it is a long video with music i played so it may not be very interesting. it shows what the australian countryside looks like at least.

I have no idea where these were filmed. I can't tell one stretch of highway from the next :P

If I went over 70mph on my bike, i would be so freaked out.
