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.

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!

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? http://www.kgbanswers.co.uk/what-modifi ... on/2237880
