I don't remember that Jason...! Must have been on the Autobahn!  Wink

When you have to drive 800 Kms in a day, on good roads and in fine continental weather, the speed does creep up, unsurprisingly in a Fiat .....which is one of their endearing characteristics.

I'm impressed with your indicated 130mph though. Those 2000 Supers are quick even in standard form.  Smiley

When Toad was a road car, I was running down an Audi and a Porsche that were on it,  I was catching them but prop rubber could not take it and self destructed at over 135. Thing is, car should have been on a 3.9 and 185/60.  Car was on a 3.5 and 205/60 tyres.  Like I said, I was catching them.  Grin.  Germany

  I can see I'll have to use the SatNav speedo next time,  gets ride of speedo error and runing on axle stands.  Grin  but no one would do that would they.    Keep an eye out for Baby Toad    I'm coming to get yooooooo


The se031 is supposed to have been clocked at 175mph on 285bhp

Playing on the freeway with the 131 Racing. I have gotten the needle to touch the km/h writing at the bottom of the speedo, it's just a bit difficult to take a pic then with my phone. Wink

Remember our Racing's were based on the series 1 cars, so the speedo only went up to 180km/h, but like I said, the needle goes off the clock. Grin
