Simply random stuff

Agreed. My Mini Cooper S will do 0-60 mph in about 6.8 seconds which I've come close to, and a top speed of 140 mph which I've never approached, never been more than about 80 in this car. There are so many speed cameras in the UK these days that even if following a police card or being flashed to get out of the way of police, it's not worth the risk. Even ignoring that the performance of some cars these days is just ridiculous, there's no way to usefully harness that performance on the roads. My Mini Cooper S is more than quick enough for my needs and is plenty of fun to drive.

I hear you, Bro. We have more roads here and opportunities to crank it up, but truth is I'm not young and dumb anymore. Like I said I was always more into drag racing on the strip (but yeah on backroads too) than I was driving very fast on the highway...though I did sometimes. Lived to tell about it, thankfully. I drive the posted limit these days and if people want to buzz by, I don't care.
