    Oh my God!!! How can you stand it? :frown2:

    Been to Florida once. I was in a Mountain town called Mt Dora. Very nice at a dizzying elevation of 184 feet. They billed themselves as the highest place in Florida. :lol: It was a nice town that we enjoyed. Loved the mountain air.

    Come to Ohio guys we have hills & turns... :Thumbsup:

    You guys have brave souls. I don't dare do anything like that around here. I value my license and bank account too much.

    I did manage to mash the OMG button and the gas pedal in the new ride at the same time last Sunday around 1 a.m. The HUD flashed close to 130 really fast. I dropped the speed really quick. The CHP station was only a few exits away and I never know when they come and go.

    Not to hijack the thread "But"

    180 MPH in my 98 Corvette

    [​IMG]

    The top I got on My 2009 JCW was 151 by the speed-o-meter which probably was a real 148/149

    On Daytona Speedway (Not the Street)

    We borrowed the kids Garmin from his 07 MCS when we went to Boston to work that stop for MTTS. I was scrolling through and saw 119. I called and asked if he wanted to explain. He respectfully declined. Guess I raised a pretty smart kid!

    I threw my Gamin across the yard and got 27 mph. I think it would have gone faster, if it didn't tumble!:lol:

    p.s. The landing in the grass didn't hurt it.

    I'm pretty sure that those of us trying to keep up with a certain MINI head honcho saw speeds in (or near) triple digits :D

    The group I was in never saw a single LEO. That was the surreal part of the whole thing. Not to mention we went through 2 states on a road that gets patrolled quite heavily. Or it did, last time I visited my sister, who lives on the road in question :D
