If I was worried about mpg I'd own a different car, mine does 40mpg on a 300 mile run if I take it steady, 25ish is what I get driving normally.Mr. Dazzle wrote: Thu Dec 10, 2020 11:49 am

My car with 5 seats and stereo will also do 80mpg on a run. Bikes are always shit economy.
I'd lose my license - I keep looking at Evo 10s but I don't think 300bhp and me would be a good idea, I bad enough with 140bhp.Mr. Dazzle wrote: Thu Dec 10, 2020 11:52 am My 3 series would quite happily do 120mph with one finger on the wheel i reckon, but I've not tried! I often lament at the speed limits, it'd naturally lollop along at 100mph nay problem.
You need to drive some better cars
Funnily enough - my Opel Monza felt fine at high speed (I only tested it once, late one night down the hill to Marlow from High Wycombe). Maybe because it was a big heavy car?Mr. Dazzle wrote: Thu Dec 10, 2020 11:52 am My 3 series would quite happily do 120mph with one finger on the wheel i reckon, but I've not tried!

Yup, when Helga takes the kids to school in a 3l diesel Audi at 130mph on the Autobahn she needs to feel safeMr. Dazzle wrote: Thu Dec 10, 2020 11:56 am A German saloon is always gonna have great high speed stability. Bahnstormer innit?
I wish I had some photos of that thing, great comfy impractical* car.Mr. Dazzle wrote: Thu Dec 10, 2020 11:56 am A German saloon is always gonna have great high speed stability. Bahnstormer innit?

That's the poor mans version, GSE is slightly nicer...Julian_Boolean wrote: Thu Dec 10, 2020 1:41 pmhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Monz ... _Front.jpgRockburner wrote: Thu Dec 10, 2020 11:59 amI wish I had some photos of that thing, great comfy impractical* car.Mr. Dazzle wrote: Thu Dec 10, 2020 11:56 am A German saloon is always gonna have great high speed stability.
