It isn't a boast, That car can easily attain that down there with a run up . It isn't my fault if you struggle with that Paul.

It wasn't a chase we were both going in the same direction...
For clarity, I consider passing a cyclist on this road at 120+mph to be an unreasonable thing to do...but I doubt that the driver appreciated what effect this might have one someone else moving at cycling speeds on a road of this width.

Did you follow the link, and if so what were your observations

Where was this 120+mph you speak of? Google link would be good.

M3's are electronically restricted to 155mph....they still have a lot left in reserve when this is removed.

You don't know much about M3's.

Apols-could easily hit 120 there in an M3. -

M3's aren't restricted, you just go through 155 in 5th.

If you have spent much time stood on the pit lane walls of racetracks on their start/finish straights, and also driven or ridden that same track and stretch at these speeds or higher you get a feel for this sort of thing. It creats a big shock wave which you feel as a bystander.

More so in an 1800kg saloon like an M3.

My word started with c and ended with t when it went past..I was not happy. I alway, always slow right down when passing cyclist there

Some people won't accept an honest answer

Thing is, most peeps don't have a clue to driving something with 200+bhp/tonne at the back wheels.

As the saying goes, "anyone can drive fast in a straight line"

Actually, no Paul. Given the stretch of road Linford posted it would seem easy to hit 120 on that road. Plus, as he says, if he is used to being around cars moving that fast then he will know what it feels like. You get, what I can only describe as, a sucking in of air as it goes past Reading the difference between 100 & 100+ is pretty difficult though.
