i ****ing love my car

left ipswich at 9.30 to pick up a twin axle car trailer from colchester, then onto croydon to pick up a mk1 fiesta. take fiesta back to ipswich where i unload it then take the trailer back to colchester. then start the trip home. there was an accident which slowed pace abit but once through that i managed 86 miles in 70 mins lmfao.

so once again i love my funking car

Does the 86 miles include stoppages? It's only just a few miles over 70mph average otherwise.

thats a very good average for any trip.

My best im my old Sri on an all motorway late night journey was 85mph average.
My best in the merit 16v was a (very) early morning ringroad run at 108mph.
