Heh.
The fastest I have ever driven was on the M54 between Telford and Birmingham - after a week away in Wales. It's a three lane motorway in which the slow lane was doing 80! I stuck it out at around 85-90 in the middle lane but occasionaly strayed out into the fast lane to do battle with the boy racers and supercharged SUV's. My little 1300cc Nova engine strained under the pressure as I managed to just squeeze 100mph out of it! I'll bet the camshaft would have exploded if I'd kept it up for more than a couple of minutes. It was great fun, speeding around the traffic islands at 50mph in second gear, then accellerating away again cutting people up left right and centre.
No Max, I am not "An Hooligan"- we just enjoy our beer and high speed driving. Not at the same time, oh no. That's why we took the train.
Oh FatSatan, I am so glad I'm not from the Netherlands - being able to drive from one side of your country to the other in, oh, fourty minutes must make Road Trips sweet and short.
