Inspired by recent posts in the Bugatti Chiron thread...
What's the highest (actual or indicated) speed you have ever achieved while a driver/rider of or passenger in a vehicle?
This isn't just limited to road transport, but unless you've been in something other than a commercial airliner and can verify velocity let's not bother about planes.
And since most of us here are grown ups lets not bother with the "Billy Big-Bollocks" tall tales. This is a survey, not a willy-waving contest.
Having said that Mucho Green Blobs to anyone who can provide proof they've broken the sound barrier.
Since I realise detailed descriptions could potentially be incriminating, please only include as much detail as necessary.
Mine are as follows:
1. 143mph (indicated) My own Subaru Impreza Wagon, location unspecified, and still accelerating before I chickened out.
2. 240 km/h (indicated) A friend of my fiancee's 850 T5R wagon on an stretch of Autobahn near Frankfurt around 1997.
3. 135 mph (indicated) On the pillion of an old school mate's BMW something motorcycle on the M6 in Lancashire.
