Went to pick a Rover Coupe Turbo up with my mate yesterday in Northampton. On the M1 near Leicester we hit a rain storm and his car started misifiring so we pulled into Leicester Forest East services so it could dry off.

Got back on the motorway, and caned it all the way home. Did 90 miles in 45 minutes it was awesome.

Another awesome bit was doing 130mph down a private stretch of the motorway and being passed by a Lotus Esprit Turbo doing an easy 150mph lol.

See ya

Going 120mph for an hour and a half not good enough?!

id say its unlikely doing 120mph for an hour or so!

if it is true it is fooking stupidity....chances of getting cuaght must be like well over 50 %!

Damn! I thought it was about racing the BMW M1 from the subject title. Got me all excited. Need to calm down now.

Well we didn't get caught so it doesn't matter. We were generally doing 120mph, flatted it a couple of times though. Didn't too badly on fuel either it only used 1/2 a tank. My mates Rover used 3/4 tank lol.

See ya
