Ikenna351: @ Trac & Yungboss,

Dis una grammer don too much. Mey una take am sofly sofly. Me i no do engineering o! Na ordinally Political Scientist i be. The only thing i sabi na spanner and sensor A or sensor B. grin All these grammer you guys are vomiting here sounds Abracadabra.

Seriously! Yungboss, there is no point trying to prove to anyone why you chose the car you have over others. I used to make that mistake, but have stopped it longtime ago. You. I mean, only YOU, knew what you saw in your car; you know why you prefered it over others and want to stick with it, as long as it takes. You don't have to convince me to believe in your choice. Yes, there could be other better cars out there. But what about it. Must you test all of them before you stop to exist? I can only leave a particular brand when it gives me reason to, otherwise, whats the point. To put it in another manner, must you keep changing wives or girlfriends, as you meet beautiful ladies you never imagined could exist on daily basis? You only have to take one, close the door and face other things in life. Unless that babe gives you reason to look for another (even though we could try to endure untill the thing no gree work again). But then, we have so much in life to explore than to keep limiting our precious time on one thing, changing it over and over again, just to get the full test & satisfaction of it, when there are more things in life to pursue and conquer. Thats how I see cars.

Hope I didnt derail too much? grin grin grin

Ikenna.


@ Ikenna

You may not have studied engineering as you said but you are mechanically inclined (at least to a certain degree). From some of your post, you are a petrolhead (i.e. a person that is enthusiastic about motoring and enjoys the pleasure of driving). To a degree, automotive was covered in my college curriculum and I also went to auto-school and took two trainings: engine installation/rebuild and electronics. This is why you find some of my posts different; it is because I am explaining it from an engineering or manufacturing perspective.

I was going to state the same to YungBoss about choices but you have beaten me to it. It's all good.

The Audi 90E 1,994cc 5 cylinder, like the rest of the Audi Big Five's, is tough as old boots. With 115 hp, it'll reach a maximum of 202 km/h.

lol!! Most times these speed reaches are unconscious.
U just look up and see ur needle dangling in the region u do never thought to reach.
Just like last Friday, i was a bit cautious, thinking i had an old car that could develop an issue at any time
only for me to hit a long stretch of good road and here was my cheetah Audi racing away.

But it was fun!! wink grin

lucom: In 2006 on my way to Ado-Ekiti with my 95BMW 525i A C180 Benz and a 99 Accord zoomed past me while I was doing only 100kph, really felt slighted and doubled up I simply took out the accord in less than 3 minutes but formed a bracket with the Benz until I got to Iloko-Ijesa junction and had to let him go because he was going towards Akure while I turned in to my left for Ekiti. If I can recollect I think I did up to 200kph or more that day.
I must thank u for telling us the truth! There are actually 2 cars: mercedes and others. But german cars demand respect when it comes to speeding. I trust beemers and volks. But you couldnt get past even d smallest c benz. Then benz is really a machine. Ill do better with my c 230

I've done 160km/h on the 3rd Mainland Bridge with an '02 Pathfinder. However the car started shaking violently and I had to drop my speed almost immediately. I know Siena will say I didn't use GPS but I had to rely on d car's speedo. I don't plan to try it again though :-)

I did 200km/hr with my Mazda6...I remembered a 2005 accord was trying to overtake me but i made the accord feel so stupid lol.. Average speed of 180km/hr Kaduna to Abuja...What a super road!!!
Re: Fastest Speed You Have Ever Driven: Car, Place, Time? by Salaminous: 9:16am On Oct 12, 2012
Abuja airport to town sometime in 1995 or 1996 can't really remember 200km/hr 1994 M/B E320
Lagos Ibadan Express returning from Ibadan in 2001 210km/hr 1990 BMW 535i
third mainland bridge heading to the mainland in 2002 235km/hr 1994 BMW 535i
I'm a lot more responsible now so i just trot about at a manageable 140 - 170 km/hr depending on the car and road condition.

MMM on the 1st page of this thread already posted a 200kph in a merc G550 though he said he was tipsy so i guess we can't take his word at that then tongue

well, i think 150km/h is a modest speed...i remember the first time i travelled in my bmw 320i, chased a Nissan Armada(v8), passed him at 160km/h...he was prolly doing something close to mine cos i slowly reeled him in and pulled away slowly too.
Meanwhile, have you imagined sitting on 180km/h in your supposedly new camry, and a 1995 bmw 3 series 2.0L outruns you? Sure you knew you were competing! i travelled to benin 2weeks ago in same bmw, gave a chap driving a camry 2008 2.4l a nice run for his money. Killed him off at 200km/h. Virtually only two cars (my bmw and the camry) on the road. Came right behind me aggressively, passed me at 160km/h. I accelerated to 180, keeping him neck and neck with me, for like 3mins...i heard his engine screaming for more as i walked up to 200, leaving him 7+ cars behind me. Waited for him to come close, gave him the chase once again and outdid him at close to 200km/h, only both of us on the road, very early, so open and wide was the road as i remained in front of him for the rest of the journey...when we got to benin city, by the traffic lights, i gave way for him to pass me and he couldn't help but staring hard at me. I gave him the thumbs up in return.
Aim of my silly act: to make him detest his toyota, to make him know that my bimmer was older (1995), hence more experienced.
and that it's simply a Nazi tool, you dont wanna toil with...

After reading all your conquests withat beemer, i am having sweet memories of my sold 95 320i, and seriously considering adding a 98 320i wagon with sports suspension and a 5 speed auto gear, just imported from Germany, to my fleet.

But on a more serious note, beemers are made like no other cars. Particularly the 90s models. If I go ahead and buy that beemer, it would be a collectors item, IMHO.

yea for real, the 90's bmws were great cars in their time. I had someone willing to bring in a '95 M3 4me above 100,000miles, but on a 2nd thought, the car might have been abused cos its an m3 and i would like to test-drive a car before i pay, so i discarded the idea of committing over N1m to something without a proven condition. Settled for a 2003/4 330i...should have picked it up but have alot of financial committments so it's been deferred till next year. I try to remind me all the time i travel that HIGH SPEED isn't safe on Nigerian roads so that would be my last escapade in that direction...i plan to keep the e30 and e36 as collector's items...

you'r right. The e30 is what i'd consider my collector's item. I had someone who was supposed to bring a '95 M3 in for me, but i wasn't too sure of the condition of the car. Didnt know if i would be paying for an over flogged M3 or one in good condition, so i quashed the idea. Now i'm on course for a '2003/4 330i. That'l be sealed in the new year 'cos i have other financial committments to deal with for now.

Sorry to butt in here - an Audi A4 quattro 3,2 V6 makes 241 bhp. It's IMPOSSIBLE to reach a speed of 230 mph in that car. It just doesn't make anywhere near enough power. 230 km/h yeah, not mph. Unless this is just some joke.
