Most mk5's read 5-7% under on the speedo. So 150mph is probably more like 142-143mph. But of course when you said M1 you actually meant private road right  :happy2:

Just to confirm there were no cars on that stretch when I got there as I'm  :stupid: but not that stupid to be doing it around other stupid people jumping out in front of me and no time to stop. clear road ahead he says  :happy2:

I always do a one off test and won't do it again sorry  :sad1:

So what would you say the correct speed for 57 mph is?.

Or a UK trackday. Cheaper than you might think; lots of them available for about £150, or even less. The car only really *needs* some good brake fluid, and if the rest of the consumables/liquids are OK you're good to go. Of course the car will be better on track with brake upgrades, more power, better suspension, stiffer chassis, good tyres etc but they're not absolute musts to get out there.

Bruntingthorpe has been mentioned - that has a massive 2 mile straight, and a more twisty section. You still wouldn't get it to 150mph though

I've had 155 on the clock, whatever that is in real life I'm not sure.

How is that proven as I was done by a speed camera a year ago and they only convicted me 6 weeks ago the bastarfs  :slap: I used the same M1 passed Northamptonshire stretch where the camera are yet I don't know how I got to 57 mph and tried to be honest but the dogs threw the book at me and this is the first time I've had points in 15 years.

All analogue speedos over compensate, can you imagine the manufacturer comeback if it states you were doing 40 and were caught doing 43?
Plus, move your head up and down slightly and you will see a different reading due to the needle being interpreted differently.
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)
