My goodness.... I didn't even know a regular car can go that fast!

Of course, my friends all told me that I drive like an old lady...

Haha, well.. I've driven about 150mph before in an Audi A6, but that was in another country where people were passing me

With my new scaled-down driving habits, I've been called an old lady driver too!

Are you sure you're talking miles not Km per hour?

I thought Audi A6 max speed is 130-140 mph range.

It was in Germany in the summer of 2002. The pic only shows me doing a little over 200km/hr, but I remember almost maxing that speedo out at one point while I was trying to catch a Porsche. I guess the max speeds are different in the German version -- no speed limiter!

We were on a long road trip from Frankfurt to see some castles in South Germany somewhere. Our first meal in the country was deer stew ... fun times.

200Km/hr = 125mph... still very fast...

I've never went over 90mph in my life time...

Just flash your light... I'll get out of the way

I too have seen some serious speed around Rome and Manheim Germany.

I also did 135 in Jersey in a Ferrari.

Ahh- not anymore!

LOL, I was once in a suped up Mitsubishi 3000 GT going 135 on a LOCAL ROAD in Jersey ... I thought I was going to die. I never got into the guy's car again.

Actually, flashing your lights is considered to be a courtesy/safety signal in Europe. Here in the U.S. people get road rage when they're high-beamed. I never understood it ... I just move over for my own safety if someone is fast-approaching me at 100mph and flashes me. It still confuses me why some people get pissed off and just brake hard to **** off the faster driver, and possibly cause an accident in the process.

miu: So you have a V1 and I just read in the other forum that you have more than 3 cars! That's pretty insane for an Asian girl (can I be stereotypical and say that all my Chinese female friends drive like grandmas?) Are you into the "ricer crowd"?
