Down here in Southland the other day. Now I wonder what his indicated speed was. probably a lot higher than actual speed.

Magic 200kph you reckon, non of this ton up boys, we want two ton up (metric)! I can't help it, I know it's wrong, but I'm smiling.

With all the holden maloos ,hsv's Ferraris ,Lambos and other very fast cars in NZ its a wonder not more people are caught doing over 200kph. Even a new double cab ute would just about get there.

I don't think the 2 tonne club gets a hat like the 2 ton club does.

Hey Gun, I remember a story about a young lad on a bike. Quite a few years ago now. Story I heard, He was going pretty quick when he went past the cop. Not sure of the speed. The fella on the bike ended up stopping and waited for the cop to catch up.

Thats a true story. As the kind policeman told me, "radios are still quicker than you, and we have a road block waiting for you". You back from ya Xmas break then, half way through March seems about right for self employed?

lol yea self employed have it way to easy lol. Just popped on for a nose. Had a laugh at the DIY your own air con thread, then found this one. Didn't hear about this fella speeding. Crazy. My old ute got up to 99 the other day down a hill with a strong southern wind up me ring. Hanging on for dear life lol

I recon :) its far from a quick speed. I remember driving around the M25 in London doing 85mph - I got pulled up by the boys in blue and told to get a move on as I was holding traffic up! 120/130mph was my then average speed from West Yorkshire to London on the M1. This was in the early hours granted but its not fast in my book. Here in NZ it is fast cos the roads are shagged and we don't have "real" motorways like Germany and Spain have.
200kms LOL!

Yea not much to with how fast his car may go or how fast some cars can go, fact is 100kph is our limit here, like it or loathe it. He was caught doin it and that's 93kph over our limit.

Which bit ya find funny? Yea if ya sayin some HSVs are slow, well an old 185i sure is compared to 2015 430kw version.

I hear ya gunhand :) The law is one thing and peoples perception of speed is a totally different cookie altogether.

Honest story guys. I was out riding my bike the other day. really having a heap of fun to be honest. A local traffic officer pulled me over to tell me I was going too slow and to get off the road. I had to explain to him at great length why I was riding so slowly. Luckily he believed me and let me carry on. but at a faster speed.
