Also add in some potholes, uneven road surfaces and loads of slow drivers.

While I try not to speed too often I've gotten it up to 140 against an M5. This M5 was soooooo persistent at trying to race so I had to put it to him. Didn't do too bad, I kept up for sure but he was WEAVING through cars. I don't know why but BMW's always want to race when they see a Lex. Anyhow, in retrospect pretty stupid decision but it's crazy what adrenaline and your love for your Lex can do at times....

Were you using the speedometer as a reference for speed of some other device? cause speedometers have margins of error (usually stating faster speeds)?

Yeah the speedometer, actually I was converting from KM/H to Mph.
