That wouldn't be far off to be honest

I can vouch for that - Drewcam's old van could do 177mph ... on a single track Scottish lane ... in second ... in the snow.


And he's bought a faster van now!

Everyone knows the fastest car in the world is not a car, it's an 'H' Reg Vauxhall Astra van with a copy of 'The Sun' on the dashboard.

One can be found behind any maxed out supercar flashing it's headlights waiting to get past.

Welcome to V8 ownership

My S4 got 18mpg as an average...and that was with the Mrs driving it a lot. Plus it was remapped so that should have helped with the consumption.

Bah, you're a bitter old fecker Tipex

The Golf's still only 220bhp/tonne and 122bhp/litre, but that wasn't the reason for starting the thread

You'll need to wait for Donny at the end of August for the bigger numbers
