On a quick test I didnt think the car seemed to perform too well. :D

Tsk, couldnt even get it to 160Mph, maybe you should get out and push next time? :)
 
Great one Shaun, you must have a lot of balls to take one hand of the steering to take a photo!
 
no bad for a mini cooper ;)
 
At a guess, I'd say you could have just about let go and gone to the sleep in the back at that speed. The last few cars I have been for a ride in at that speed have all done it with the most amazing stability and confidence.

The Crossfire was good for that sort of thing...... :-( Gone now.

Nice one :) And there must have been plenty more to go too.

Funny you should mention that, I was thinking of a trip to the 'ring (excuse to go to Germany) the first or second week of November, AKA the trip we done in 2003.
 
Think you need a wheel balance.

Hmm sounds like an idea. I'd love to see some of the cars on here going round. Also gives me an excuse to visit Stuttgart as well..
 
When i came back from Spain last week i got it up to 140, the problem was there was so much noise from the windscreen wiper, i thought was going to blow off so i slowed down. Did you get any noise from your wiper?.I must admit there was still plenty left at 140, i just did not get the opportunity to have another go.
 
TBH I didnt really notice any noises in fact I thought it was very quiet. and very stable.

It had more to give but was more concerned with the speed I was approaching traffic and allowing myself time to slow down. I had started to back off when I took the picture.

Next run will be with a passenger and digital camera instead of the phone. Also looking to have the GPS with me so I can get a true speed.

This is the aim :D
