145 iirc on the bmw on a private road with d and al

173mph in a Jaguar XJ13 replica.

At the time the only one in existence going down some wicked dual carriageway south of Tamworth. We were en route to MIRA proving ground to do a feature for Performance Car magazine and the owner (a friends dad) was sat next to me telling me to 'stop being a pussy'.

Here are some photos of the car at MIRA on the day:




Prior to this I was driving the 'then new' Rover 220 Tomcat while the press photographer hung out of the roof taking pictures of the XJ13.

TBH I was shitting myself. No power steering, no roof (cool) and 50's/60's technology. Driving one mans lifes work and knowing I could never ever afford to fix it if I broke it.

I'll never forget it though - the noise was AWESOME
