I was going either way with it, IrishMist. One of my friends has a portrait of Lemmy on her arm! He signed her arm and she had that inked on as well.

I think this is probably what HW meant to post.

Bugatti Veyron High Speed Runs 215-225mph 7 times.

Picture of Bugatti Veyron with spoiler up.

From the Bugatti Site:
"Boasting a maximum speed of more than 400 km per hour, the Veyron is unmatched in the super sports
category. It offers a total of 736 kW (1,001 HP), and its ample power reserves even at high speeds are
the fabric of dreams for luxury-class limousines: for a constant speed of 250 km/h, the Veyron only needs
270-280 HP. This means that the seven-gear clutch transmission works with a torque of up to 1,250
Newton meters. The Electronic Stability Program ensures the necessary flexibility and maneuverability at
any speed. The Veyron reaches velocities that would literally lift the car off the ground – if it weren’t for its ingenious aerodynamics, which keeps it firmly on the road even at full speed.

Adjusting the back spoiler, reducing ground clearance, opening and closing the lids – it all adds to the
perfect balance between propulsion and downforce. Such a super sports car may not seem to be
brought to a halt easily, but the Veyron’s ceramic brakes slow it down faster than it can accelerate.
While it takes this exceptional car only 2.5 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h, it needs even less time
– a mere 2.3 seconds – to come to a standstill from 100 (reference point). To reduce the risk of injuries
in accidents, Bugatti had a Formula 1 safety concept adapted for the Veyron. All these technical details
combine to make the Veyron a truly exceptional super sports car."

That is a lovely car.

Worth practicing with a manual transmission for.

The best I've ever done was 165, but it was on two wheels.

Only about 130 on the race track, (four wheels) and 95 on the drag strip, 1/8 mile (two wheels).

Honestly, once you're over 100 or so everything feels pretty much the same.
