Supra_Natural,

I cant believe you are a Moderator and posting in such a irresponsible way. If u at least have a clean vision, you'll see that the pic is indeed taken in sri lanka. Here's a pic of da speedometer

I'm surprised that you can afford a Land Rover, but don't have a decent digital camera.

[Komisiripala]

Err, supra is pretty knowledgeable about cars. He does host a car show after all. And contribute to the motor mag.

And he does have a point. I'd be easy with the nai-paagala attitude if I were you...

[Junkfriend]

I think the guys wanted you to post a pic with the spedometer at the speed which you stipulated. Is your vehicle still on UK plates?

Then he could have simply asked couldn't he? If you read his post it looks childish for a Moderator . specially if he's such a big player as everyone says... The pic was taken sometime back before it was registered. Edited December 7, 2012 by Junkfriend

Dude I was not defending Supra, I was asking you a question; which you have not answered. Nor have you given the proof asked by forum members (though personally I am not encouraging you to do that as its fairly reckless).

But in Defence of Supra, we do get a lot of posers and to be frank we are all fed up with it. This does mean at times even genuine people get dismissed (ask 4AGE). Don't take it personally, it comes with the territory of posting on a public forum.

Aiyo malli.. chater..

Got millions and millions to buy a Discovery 4, but never thought of spending a few thousand bucks on going for a computer-internet-email class at even a mushrooming IT school to learn to upload a picture with a decent resolution.. aiyo salli...

Just remembered couple of interesting high speed moments I had overseas after seeing racerboy's post.

Victoria Australia

Top Speed - 145-ish km/h

Car - 1978 Volvo 244 DL Auto.

Mods - none

Location - Healsville suburb can't recall the name of the road. All I know is it bypasses the town and goes through a beautiful vineyard. Completely deserted and you can see the other end of it, so you know if there is a vehicle coming well in advance. Worked for a short while in Healsville and everyday after work I took the long way home, sometimes doing two runs I discovered it as I worked on the bus that went through the vineyard.

What Prevented you from going further - That felt like close to the max in my old Volvo and I was on a student budget.....

Thailand.

Speed - slightly above140 km/h

Vehicle - My then gf's Thai made Honda City (the first gen sedan)

Location - Highway Returning from Aythaya to Bangkok.

What Prevented you from going further - It honestly felt like I was doing 200km/h. Wind noise, Tyres felt like they were at the end of their grip and I had a feeling that any more and we'll get airborne The most interesting thing that happened however was that at that speed I was overtaken from either side (I was in the middle lane) by a BMW E36 and Peugeot 405 Mi 16 in what seemed like a flash. The turbulence was so bad that we felt the Honda squirm and I had to fight the steering to stay in the lane. I was immediately ordered to slow down

Sounds quite similar to a J44 at about 80kmph

Healsville is a very nice area..It only takes me about 30 mins to get there from where I live. Yea, the roads are amazing. I normally do the Gembrool-Healsville, Healsville - Marysville and Marysville - Lake mountain runs whenever I have some time off from work. Roads are great and hardly any traffic; if you pick the right time.

Actually I was in love with that place. In my short stint there it made me feel like it was a different world altogether. The kind of place that makes you feel everything and go into some surreal world. Gosh I need to go there again.

Faced a partially similar situation couple of weeks back on SEW... I was doing around 120 and a Peugeot 406 overtook me in a manner, it felt like i was standing still on the highway.... And it vanished in couple of minutes... Those euros,,

As GTAm alluded to before, its not the power but the ride quality, that allows you to speed without feeling unsafe or uncomfortable.

Ya Definitely... in my car, when you are going over 100 kmph, it sorta lets you know that you are about to walk on thin ice... and only once i went over the limit by touching 155 kmph and i really felt that the car is doing what it is not meant to do, speeding excessively.. (even though it has max 220 on the gauge) ...

When that 406 went passing me, i think it was doing pretty much over 150.. And main thing i noticed was that the car was moving very smoothly .. in my case feeling of car might take off in any second (and too much wobbling also) made me take my foot off the gas immediately..

Oh dear... Did I offend you? How unfortunate...

It's just that we have a very strong BS meter over here (or should we call that the Naya Meter?) and your posts kind of set it off... Especially when you try to argue with a man who actually works with LR's for a living and insist that YOU know more than he does... Forgotten that little foot-in-mouth moment already or are you going to say "The previous statement I made is no longer operative" in George W. Bush style?

Hmmm...looks like a LHD car. Surely it can't be the LHD VW beetle I've seen in Rathmalana?
