Guest DaveWilko Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 LONDON (AFP) - A man caught speeding at a British record of 172 miles (277 kilometres) per hour was jailed for 10 weeks on Monday. Tim Brady, 33, from Harrow in north-west London, became the fastest person ever caught by a British speed camera for his spin in a 98,000-pound (198,000-dollar, 141,000-euro) 3.6-litre Porsche 911 Turbo in January. He was clocked by a random speed check near Abingdon in Oxfordshire, southern England, Oxford Crown Court heard. Brady pleaded guilty to one count of dangerous driving. His speed beat the previous record of 156 mph (251 kph) set by a car dealer in Scotland in 2003. What about that? Muppet! On a traffic free motorway I could understand it. If I was in a 911 turbo I'd be tempted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Was that Jap guy in the TS Supra not caught doing more than that on the A1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 They didnt catch him doing the speed he was.. only when he slowed down to 130 odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Was that Jap guy in the TS Supra not caught doing more than that? I don't think they got a reading on the Top Secret car at it's fastest. They nabbed him at a lower speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaveWilko Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I remember that. Max power clocked him at 198 but the filth nabbed him at a lot less. 130 sounds about right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaveWilko Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 164 leptons is the fastest i've been at. It was a remapped Celica Carls Sainz. It was still accelerating hard at that but I chickened out lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4leks Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 164 leptons is the fastest i've been at. It was a remapped Celica Carls Sainz. It was still accelerating hard at that but I chickened out lol. I was constantly doing just above 170 leptons 2 weeks ago...almost every day for 4 days but it was in Germany However 170-172 leptons is just around 160 according to GPS... our speedos are not correct at all (I recon around 6-7% less) My intention was to hit 180 on speedo. I still had enough power to do that (170-172 and was still accelarating) but roads were pretty packed during the day and I had too much wine & beer by the end of the day to drive at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Mine's been filmed at 167 (speedo) on the autobahn. Not me driving though - I've only managed 165. (Autobahn too BTW). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
