Is the country really that hard...
Why oh why oh why is there no minimum speed limit on the motorways??? :(
Does anyone want to try to convince me that the doddering fools driving at 40mph (usually in a world of their own and usually completely unaware of lanes other than the middle one they seem to believe they own) pose less...

Hi all
A friend has a Japanese spec 500CLS that does not go over a certain speed (I think its 180kph or 112mph).
Is there a way of removing this speed restriction?
Thanks
Per my original thread on this subject, I noticed this press release slipped into my inbox whilst I was off:
Motorists on a section of the M42 will be allowed to drive on the hard shoulder at up to 60mph from today, following a detailed safety study, as the Government steps up work on new...

Does anyone know if there is a temporary speed limit in force along the M4 at Swindon between J16 & J18?
I drove along this stretch of road 5.00pm yesterday at 70mph at the same speed as everyone else. I went under a temporary speed camera mounted on a bridge and think I was "flashed".
I...
Help please!
On my way down (even further) South this morning, I became aware that my engine had very little power and pulled in to investigate.
No apparent loss of oil or coolant or anything like that.
It appears that there's a 3k rpm limit in force and even in neutral the engine won't...
Is it true that there are no speed checks on the M6 toll road. Its a private road so do the police do speed checks - or do the landlords stop them?
If there are no speed checks, I propose a Sunday morning GTG at high speed down the toll road, and back again.
Food for thought!!
Having a discussion in the office :mad: about the speed limit on dual carriageways.
Some say it is 60 (national limit) or 70 if the white background, black stripe sign is not shown.
Please settle this before there is blood spilt :D :D
Hi,
Can anybody look up the minimum service thickness for 1997 W202 c240 disks, vented front and plain rear?
I have the Haines Book of Lies but the figures are nowhere near the measurements I just took off mine. (Fair enough, as they don't cover the 240 but I thought the brakes would be...
Noticed this today thought it was worth warning folks here,the limit has been dropped down to 40mph from the A13 to where the road joins the A12.The large 50mph signs have been replaced with beer mat size 40mph signs very sneaky :eek:

I took my E320 on the highway a few nights ago and went upto 220 km/h. At that point I felt like the engine backed off a bit and I could not accellerate past 220 km/h. I also felt like there was something 'limiting' the engine from reving any higher.
Is 220 km/h the limit that's imposed on...
