[TR] 65 mph

[ccsimonsen at gmail.com (Chris Simo)]

I can't be sure but in high school I had my TR2's speedometer needle
bouncing between 95 and 115......  so I'm saying 95 to 100 mph - and that
was fast enough. Where I did this was very stupid, even for me.....

More than a few years ago I had my TR4 at VIR and got it up to 102 mph via
radar.  That was a blast.

A few years ago I had a Ford Mondeo (I think it was) station wagon on
the autobahn.  I was chasing down a friend and going downhill got up to
219kmph or about 135mph -(engine screaming in 5th - 6th gear would do
nothing at that speed but slow down)  Then a big beamer and a Mercedes blew
by me and I bounced several feet towards the shoulder from their wash.....
 I took it back down to a more reasonable 110 mph.  After releasing the seat
from my buttocks I really enjoyed the rest of the trip.
