Waht'll it do mister (the fastest Series thread!)
Bob Ajob:
'bout 2mph at the moment, once the engine's in, she'll go for a good run and we'll see, still got 3.54 diffs in, so given a downhill section I'm hoping I'll be able to stop (sticky brakes).
aimbones:
On a few occasions running to make the last ferry home from work in France the gps has reported a scary 95mph with an inch or so of travel left on the loud pedal, but that is with a v8, overdrive, 3.9 diffs and 235/85 mud terrains.
philbert:
235/70's new acr engine (still abit tight!) rangie diffs had 80 on gps with plenty more to go!
greatbignath:

thermidorthelobster:
I tried timing 0-60 in the 101 on the Slapton Line one day (flat, straight and 2.3 miles long). 4 minutes later we were still not over 55 on the gps and were coming into Torcross village (speed limit and bend) so I had to throw out the anchors.
Driving North through Mauritania and Western Sahara we had a headwind for about 3 days which kept us below 40 and took the economy down to about 6mpg!
