Am i missing something here? Are you saying you were wrongly recorded by a machine and you weren't really doing 132 mph,or are you telling us you were doing 132 mph in a 30 mph zone and you think that's something to boast about?

Nope
I reckon so
Looks that way,and you think that's something to boast about?
Although in 1994 I doubt it would have been a digital sign, I would have guessed they wouldn't have been around then?

I'm like this fellow,who according to some comments has feck all else to do/moan about all day. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6213247/Grandfather-72-ordered-tear-fake-speed-camera.html
I think i should get one of these.
I could store it somewhere and put it out on the grass verge outside my flat,which is next to a 30 mph zone where drivers like to go about 60 mph every rush hour. Maybe i could sit in it all day long if i've really feck all to do that day.

I got followed by one of those cardboard cut out police cars once, down the A34 dual carriageway, I was doing 70mph, I had to pull over to the side and a cardboard cut out policeman got out of the cardboard cut out police car, and said to me, " do you know you were doing 70mph down the A34?" I said "that's the speed limit officer! " He said, " Gah! I'm not cut out for this job."

I.O.M ..nice work if you can get it!!
Correct!
Thursday evening sidecar TT practice and the local bobbies were playing with their new toys ( hand held radar guns)
One of them came around the paddock afterwards and was telling us how fast we'd gone down Sulby Straight. I was the 12 th fastest outfit through there according to him.

A few years back, they used to have a couple of the English versions of those on the M6. Remarkably effective it seemed to me.
In my village at carnival time, they have a household scarecrow competition. About 4/5 years ago, a local stables put up a policeman with a camera scarecrow. Now that was effective.
So effective in fact, that it stayed up for about 6 weeks after the carnival and the weather brought it down.

Pretty sedate really as the lap record is 135.452mphVery competitive then
but very much 
being able to hang on at those speedsThe lap record is 135 mph for a 1000cc solo Superbike set very recently. They do close on 200 mph on Sulby Straight.Pretty sedate really as the lap record is 135.452mph
132 mph on Sulby Straight, two up on a 600 cc sidecar, 25 years ago, ain't so shabby in comparison.

Nice to see 'Mr Clean' getting off on a technicality,even though he admits to doing 59 mph in a 40 mph zone.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...arrives-court-fight-stars-speeding-charge.htm He could easily have taken the points,but he instead decided to employ that greasy git to argue his case. God knows why the greasy git charges many thousands to get them off points that us commoners would have to absorb? Surely if the 'police speeding letter' arrives too late then any solicitor out there could point this out to a magistrate.
