I repeat:

The needle was about 15 degrees off the end of the scale, with the
sat-nav reading over 175mph.

To be fair, that was downhill (just north of the M4/M5 interchange
heading down a steep hill to J14), and it only hit that speed for a few
seconds.


With a following hurricane? :-)

I seriously doubt that the rev limiter would have allowed the
possibility of the required 6800 rpm. And since satnav readouts are
digital, why would you say *over* 175mph? Surely a specific number
would have stuck in the mind?

I believe Glenn. As he seems to have stated the date, place and speed,
I wonder if the boys in blue will when they get round to reading ukra?
The Sunday Torygraph today reports the conviction of a group of Welsh thugs
who documented their crimes on a website, after it was spotted by police!

What is the rev-limit on an Audi 3.2?

On mine, the rev limiter kicks in around 6500-6600. 175mph true, as he
claims from a satnav readout, would require 6800.
