My new sat nav told me today I had averaged 172mph on a 55 mile drive.
Now that is good going I think.
Considering my Honda CRV has done only 500 miles so far and has a top speed of ...not sure ... But not 172mph.
The fastest I have been on land is 195mph (according to GPS on my iPhone) on A TGV train back in 2010.
Those 2L Montegos were a right 'wolf in sheeps clothings'. I remember someone telling me in the late 80s 'if you want a cheap car thats shifts - buy one of those'. A grandads car with a 2L turbo engine, beat XR3is and Cavalier SRIs 'back in the day'
