I've done 120mph or more in three cars:
o A Bentley R-type (on the A127 coming back from Southend).
I started out running at around 80mph, and the speed gradually
crept up. Absolutely no sensation of speed. Fortunately I
didn't have to slow down rapidly, as I'm sure thar drum brakes
(even if they are 14" drums) would take a long time to have
much of an effect on a car that heavy going that fast.
o My Triumph Vitesse on the motorway spur from the M4 to Reading.
Scary - the front of the car was almost lifting off the road.
o My current car - a Ford Mustang GT convertible - on route 3
at around 2:00 am, with no other traffic in sight. That was
in 1986, when the car was new.
