I see he kept 500rpm in reserve :smokin:

Maybe it was the weight that meant you were at the limit

I believe this happened when I was asleep in the back! :smt015 :hahaha:

:hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha: that's Hangover for you artyman:
174 mph GPS recorded is my best effort :thumbs: the needle was off the clock, wagging :whistle:

As Matt posted above, about genuine 175 (with a slight tail wind I'd guess) is all they've got folks. And yes, the speedo is way over......bending off the stop pin at that!

sold as well. apparently a collectors m3 csl ... and just my humble opinion... looks a little rough around the edges and not overly keen on black rims. The new owner will be the lucky 9th owner!!. I wonder if the provenance is any good on this one! :hahaha:

Not surprised its sold, it's underpriced :-D

Under 60k miles I'd say it should be up for £26-27k these days.

[mentalnerve]

It was up for £27k . Obviously didnt sell for that, then the vendor put it up for £24500, and got his hand bitten off, but i reckon it probably needed work

Trouble with these cars, is if you want a decent price you have to be patient enough to hold out for a few months without lookin your nerve.

That build sheet checker confirms your lists and numbers aren't accurate. Also other things, e.g. the racing license requirement and the Mondial piece is misleading.

... or friends Big Phat V8 M5 in front of it making a big hole in the Air :thumbs: @ 174 mph GPS the analogue speedo over reads by at least 15 mph :banghead:

[0836whimper]

No M5 punching a big hole for me, just a small 1M and I had 165 on the gps with about 178 on the dial, but Leins was still pulling away slightly, he must have had higher octane fuel (is my excuse ayway...) :-D

Not bad for someone who was fully asleep :-D IIRC his mate Bart was the V-Maxer :beer:
High octane fuel shouldn't make that much difference but a bigger pair of danglers would

[LeinsCSL]

Nope, Bart was acting "navigator" (AKA bar-man for the two of us). That was Topaz upholding the CSL honour against the 1M! It was all a Cointreau-induced blur for me, although I do seem to recall being upset that he didn't really push it on a bit more (despite the impending corner)

Apologies to Topaz and :supz:
