F3NMG is on a distinguished road
Work place rivalry

Just for fun this one!

On 12 hour days today and have been discussing over a brew with colleagues, the my upcoming attempt at our in house hill climbing challenge!
Basically, on our route out of the factory there is a long down hill slip road to the dual carriageway which then climbs steeply for half a mile until you reach the peak and pass under a footbridge to record your top speed.

To give an idea, here are 4 speeds recorded by some;

My old Coop vvc; 113mph
Remapped Cupra R; 133mph
Civic type R; 131mph
206 TD; 90mph

Anyone got tips to get the best speed from my standard mk2 180? I don't even know where the rev limiter kicks in! Seemed a little sluggish after passing 100mph on a very wet and ultimately abandoned practice run last week.

By the way, i'm no boy racer and wish to set a good figure without having to use this weeks grocery money on poor attempts!! As much as i like keeping the Misses lookin slim, starvation is not the answer!

This is what happens as a result of pride and peer pressure! Lookin forward to your comments!!
