If it was going that quick you are doing very well as the book speed for the 115 is 118mph iirc! and the 101 is a touch lower i seem to think...

I am sure mine over-reads by about 10% when up in the naughty speed area

I have never really pushed my td 115 but don't think it will get close to the 130ish mark like!!

118mph ish is prob about right

I managed to hit a whopping 27mph yesterday...an amazing top speed in congested Birmingham these days, my 5th gear has cobwebs...

i pulled 128-130 every lap at befford autodrome on the full gt circuit, it has one of the longest straights in the country, that was in my zs with 206 bhp and 184 lb ft, stripped and track prepared. I think i will be able to up that 10-15 mph next time as ill have 50% more power and 60% more torque

I took this photo on the M25 on the way home (sort of) from the MGCC annual meet at Silverstone in 2003. This is the stretch of motorway between the A1 and the A1000 (Potters Bar). A major incident occurred at the Holmesdale Tunnel junction, so the police turned us all around (eventually) to take us up the down ramp at the A1. I was actually only doing around 50mph when I took the photograph.

I have to laugh at all of the GPS speedo things, all the GPS Nav stuff is not accurate at all, they can be out by about 10m and the time lag is huge, so the GPS speedo on a Tom Tom etc isnt going to be accurate this is due to the American Military that run a program that degrades the information that the civilian GPS receivers get, this is done on purpose.
