Not fast enough! ALL

posted by  someone claiming to be Thomas Goot on  Wed Oct 10 02:24 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Up here in Canada (Ontario & Quebec) the speed limit on the freeways is 100km/h (~62mph) and I normally cruise between 125km/h (~78mph) and 135km/h (~84mph). I like to run my '87 245DL at 3000rpm in fifth. If my brick wanted to go faster I'd let it but it seems pretty content at that speed. On two lane roads where speed limit is 80km/h (~50mph) I usually travel between 110km/h (~69mph) and 120km/h (~75mph) if there is no traffic to impede my progress.
