On a downhill stretch of the M6 I almost reached 70mph, would have done too
if there were not a damned defender in front.

My series 11 does that easily with the roof off windscreen down. I just have
to make sure I wear glasses to keep the bugs out of my eyes and keep my
mouth closed

But not something I do often in the harsh sun here, far too easy to get
serious sunburn.

I now have a vision of you ducked down looking through the air vent grills
to reduce drag. Up front are three other ladies frantically sweeping dust
from the road to reduce friction.

I think I've watch too much winter olympics!

Had my petrol 2.25 (with 7.5s) up to 84 MPH (as reported by my GPS - and the
look of other drivers as we thundered past them) on the M25 clockwise at
Wisley.
This finally convinced me to rebuild it.....
