Siena:

You obviously can't read. My higher speeds are quoted in km/h, and the places these speeds were done...read, and take in. Any mention of public UK roads?

Oh sorry my bad, I just read your post again.

You should have left him alone to continue in his ignorance since in the 21st century someone can just utter anything he/she likes without first observing and understanding what its all about.
I really dislike the idea of bringing out any topic from car talk to front page because non car enthusiasts, folks who haven't handled a vehicle and some other clowns would hijack the thread show up the abundance of their ignorance ultimately defeating the purpose why the thread was created initially just as some folks are already making carricature of this thread. angry angry


Shut up man! What do you know about cars, or how many cars have you driven? Hungry man thinks his road side mechanic knowledge is gold.

Come let me teach you that there are actually people who use mathematical formulas and designs to build the cars you think you know so much about. You know nothing man

toyfat: Notice: most of the top stunts are done with toyota and others rides... una dey fear use honda products?

Not true....



On December 23, 2010, I was driving a 2008 Peugeot 407 (oh baybeee embarassed ) from Ilorin to Ibadan with an acquaintance. I was doing my 140km/h jejelly on the smooth 'un-nigerian' grin Ilorin to Ogbomosho stretch when out of the middle of damn nowhere, a packed-to-the-brim-so-that-the- nyansh -is-almost-dragging-along-the-asphalt and more rickety version of the car pictured above -a 1992-1995 Honda Civic- took me out!

I was like WTF?! This jalopy? Checked to comfirm that I was still on 140km/h. No way! angry

Na im me mah vex, enter 160km/h. I Over-took him at this speed. I maintained my speed and my lead for like two minutes before this kook took me out again!

What?! At 160km/h? shocked How did he manage that?! shocked

Still going at 160km/h, I noticed this guy was widening the gap. Lai lai, I nor go gree today.

I reached 170km/h and couldn't catch up with this goon. I enta 180km/h, shocked maintained it for like 5 - 8 minutes, I still nor catch this lunatic o. I couldn't believe it.

I wanted to damn the consequences and do between 190-220km/h, maybe 240km/h sef (I know I must definetly catch him between those). That was when my co-traveller noticed a demon was about to possess me and prevailed upon me to sempe if I wan make we see Christmas.

That yeye car must have been doing between 190-200km/h for me not to have caught up. It's all the more surprising considering how fully loaded and raggedy-looking the car was.

All these ranting and not a single point proven. This is proof to the world that you are what you just wrote. No wonder out of your ignorant shallow mind you shew forth your abundance of stupidity by blindly arguing with Mr Siena now you wanna face me you're a sore saddist and a loser. I don't need to brag or argue with a fellow like you. Slowpoke.

Re: What Car Speed Can You Comfortably Maintain? by icemann(m): 7:01pm On Sep 16, 2013
I think most people dont understand the aim of this thread. The question was What Car Speed Can You Comfortably Maintain?. Not The maximum speed you can drive. Who can be comfort able at over 180 KMPH? I wouldn't call myself a wussy but that speed and the state of Nigerian roads you are really pushing your luck there. And where are the RELIABLE Insurance and Medical services when you need them?

Oga check and read your post again. Please which road in nigeria will you maintain 100km/h for good 30 minutes without slowing down due to traffic or pothole.....not to talk of 240km/h

Au contraire! My point was loud and clear, maybe you couldn't comprehend it.

I said you know nothing, what you think you know is just common car knowledge possessed by road side mechanics. When people are hungry, they are forced to use one car for millions of years, they therefore begin to see themselves as car intellectuals.

I argued with sienna, and was man enough to apologise when I noticed I read his post wrong.

Known road: 140-160km/h
First time road or otherwise:100-120km/h

I really do find it hard to maintain 100 at any point!

REALITY101: This thread is created for drunk and irresponsible drivers.

And lies lol "225KM/hr" I didn't know 007 was on nairaland

so if a car a max speedometer of 260km/hr, what makes u think the car can't do 225km/hr. Or do u think the Speedo is there just for decoration? Moreover that speed was not achieved on a Nigerian road. If u have ever driven on an interstate highway outside the country, u will know no speed is unattainable. I have seen someone do 200km/hr on kaduna- kano highway with a toyota 4 runner. Now compare that with a car built for sports on a better longer stretch road.
Re: What Car Speed Can You Comfortably Maintain? by heilige(m): 7:51pm On Sep 16, 2013
Anyways Siena is telling the truth about german autobahn. You can fly in to munich. Hire the best automobile with power at the airport. Enter the german autobahn and drive towards hamburg. Obey all speed limits. Also dont forget to obey the no speed limit signs.
If your engine can reach 300km/hr. You will reach it. You can best enjoy it on a saturday or sunday morning.
When you get to hamburg board your flight back to your base.

Bugatti Veyron, the fastest road car, maxes out at about 250-260mph, so except you were driving a Koenigsegg or some beastly Ferrari, I don't think you are truthful.

Attempt such speeds on a UK road (except race tracks), and you'd be chased by a full squad of police men in helicopters and cars and then handed a lengthy jail time.

Do you think you are talking to kids here?
