Mountain Road & R Plates

[OoMBoyoO]

Whats the fastest you've ever drove on the mountain and what car was it?

and whats the fastest youve ever drove on R plates?

have you witnessed any dangerously (fast) driving on the mountain road?





(just interested.. im not one of those stupid boy racers by the way i actually have roaddiscipline and i know when its safe to go fast )

130 in a corrado vr6 (Got an evo now but don't drive that fast)

Never been a R plater

Not really.

[Jay_VTR]

50mph
Nearly got to 120 ON THE CLOCKS (notoriously out) in the VTR over the mountain last TT
Not really no.

155 in an my astra vxr and 170 in the new one was a good day

[bougourd]

50mph
119.1mph over mountain in my fiesta (love the digital speedo)
only once at it wasnt cos they were going too fast. was a saph cossie on english plates who didnt seem to know the road so wud nail it (and those things dont hang around) then jam on the brakes when coming to a corner cos they didnt know how tight it was.
one of my mates has recently bought a kitcar with fireblade engine in so pesterin him to take me out in that. or get him drunk and let me have a go

seen a few dodgy overtakes before.. wouoldn' say from a speed perspective though as the dodgy overtakes witnessed were exactly bombing it before or after they got passed just seemed unaware..

135mph maxxing the gearbox on the little 106.

Cant rememebr how fast i went on R plates but would have been over 50 easily, as i dont have the same mentality as i do now.

HMMM, not being suspicious or anything – public forum?

Public forum? who cares. I did 804mph over the mountain in my space ship. Then I hit the mast on snaefell. Thankfully the ship wasnt damaged so I could fly off before anyone got my reg plate. Didnt fancy having to pay for the mast to be fixed!

Lol, always wanted to say this: 'When I were a lad', there were no such things as R plates....

For shame Unders! How will we receive radio now?

You're not alone though, a quick google and I found this link, may be relevant to the OP as its for a fiesta?
