Unless that was down hill with a *strong* tail wind, I would be willing to
testify that it is impossible to travel at that speed in a Vanagon Westy
(with normal engine)!  Sounds fishy to me...

Dear list members,
                My mom got a speeding ticket in my Westfalia travelling at
157km/h.
This seems like an impossible speed but it was done.

For the americans, that is roughly 100 mph?

Curious to see what others have travelled,
