Re: What should A 33BHP SV be capable of?

In Britain, 70mph like any other effing vehicle!
130mph on any motorway proves nothing and is irresponsible imo.

And before anyone says it, yes I do go faster than the speed limit on occasions, but don't understand the fascination of top speed.
Acceleration and handling prove a vehicles worth imo.

No skill in holding a throttle against the stop, but lots in getting the heffer round corners...
