Why so serious?

I don't doubt these numbers but for me it was impossible to go any faster just because of the air resistance.

Plus I don't believe they will find out your post adress if you get a ticket on a bike. :P

I've done well over 40mph on a mountainbike, downhill. All it takes is balls and a steep hill. Don't forget to bring a mountainbike either.

Ontopic: I'm still searching for a good car..

yeah its not the fact i cant afford a s2 licence its just i dont have the need for it at the min i want a wheel first and a new computer but probibly wont bother i dont get time for it at the min. the subaru is my passion. yeah the front corner is bad the person i bought it off gave it a bump but im getting it sorted. lovely car though great to drive.

Really? GC8 Imprezas in that condition are cheap as chips to buy nowadays, so why is it so hard to believe?

I did 31mph downhill once when I was about 12 on whatever crappy second hand bike (well, second hand for my older brother, then third hand when it was handed down to me) I had at the time. Given the right incentive and a half decent bike (i.e. one with straight wheels) I reckon 40 wouldn't be too hard.

Doing that on the flat though... not for me!!!

Not the only one. Especially when it's a P1 look alike. They go for alot of money.

they are cheap to be fair but im sure the insurance is a c*** regardless ( the only thing stopping me owning one or an evo or other 4wd saloon for that matter, apart from say a dahatsu sirion or simular, but im just a tad bit too tall for them. )


lovely motor when not barryboy'd !

Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't.

I've reached about 60.something kp/h downhill on mine, which is about 38 mph or so.

Stfu about bicycles already. This thread is about modes of transportation for people who don't live in cardboard boxes.

you mean 91mason91?

no, there was a guy who "had" a restore project on the go. it went really well. the only problem was that it wasn't his car. he got the pics from another forum. he was found out and was made a compete fool of by the guy who actually owned the car. i'm surprised you missed such a gem. it happen on this forum.
EDIT: yea i mean 91mason91. my bad.

Thats perfectly achievable if the person is a hard and dedicated worker.

My best friend has owned upwards of 10 cars and hes only 21, half of them being daily runabouts, other half being performance cars (MK2 Supra, MK3 Supra, SA22C, FC3S) To name some...
