Fishy? What's with you? Jealous??

My speedo goes to 180kmh. The needle clearly reached a position that
would have been slightly over 190 if markings continued. Anb by the
way, it was still happily accelerating, but I ran out of straight
road and wasn't trying to find the out top speed. The road was dead
level and wind negligible.

Even if the speedo is optimistic, it would have been over 100mph and
accelerating well.

Better go fishing, Eric. Tell us about the one that got away...
