Let us is 220d used

[Linas.P]

Stop being police officers... saying you did whatever speed on forum means exactly nothing... National speed limit is just some number set 1962 which bares no relevance with today's cars.... and most importantly when it comes to conditions - it can be either very stupid or completely safe to 130... 230.... or wherever other speed. I put my trust in Roddy - he did it when conditions allowed him, would there be speed camera or police officer hiding in the bush he would have lost his license... but there haven't been.. so all good, all nice, all happy... Really it is everyone choice at what speed to drive and how much risk to take.

Achievement is that IS220d allegedly reached 130MPH.. I personally struggled with that in IS250 on German autobahn... up to 120 it was easy, but after accumulating each extra mile was like filling swimming pool from the leaking roof during the drought.

My point was to boast that the car itself is capable of handling any driving scenarios. And Im not sure what the is250 is as Ive never experienced, but the is220 will happily climb to 140, ill update when I have a chance to blast down an A road at 140mph with my phone in one hand 🖒

I agree.

Although I like the sentiment of your post Roddy, I wouldn't go around freely admitting I did 130mph on a UK road.

Also, you did 26 hours non stop?

It was nuts, I was shattered. We stopped but drive through or a no go. We had barrels of fuel in the boot (not stolen, for all those nay shayers) and just drove. Co-Pilot handled the music and snacks and we just went.

admitting to doing almost double the national speed limit is a lengthy ban, not very clever.

As for the positive vibes on 220Ds, i will still pass up. I have heard the engine ticking over on these at idle and its not a pretty sight.

Its a f*cking tractor mate and there is no way around it. The IS250 purrs, but tbh, Ive gotten used to it, as with any car.

As for the addmittance of guilt... I clearly wasnt smart about doing it, admitting it is the least of my worries.
