Just wondering how far one van push these vans on the motorway

 

I've seen 110 MPH on the speedo driving in France with a bit to spare but it will cruise all day with a full load at 85 MPH.

They're not built for speed but I'm always surprised how well it handles and how easily it pulls away even with 6 passengers and their luggage.

 

Nice

 

I easily got over 190 km/h (like ~120 miles/h) on German Autobahn.
I was utterly surprised the car still handled pretty well at those speeds too

Theres also a youtube film of similar speeds

 

Wow Vmaxxer i need to try it too. I will go on the M9 between Stirling and Edinburgh its pretty quiet night time and i will see how far i can push before it gets scary

 

Just now and again, to burn off some carbon from the injectors (I think this is called the italian tune-up) I will floor the pedal and get max. acceleration. I'm always surprized how much oomph this 2.8ltr. diesel engine will give. I've even wondered if it has been "chipped" as it's only supposed to give 150horse. And in a vehicle as heavy as a Rolls-Royce.
Leedsman.

 

The reason i asked is last weekend i went to the local recycling centre to throw away an old tv and while there i spoke to a guy who had a 2.5crd and we were discussing GVs in general and he said once on his way from Stirling he floored the pedal and overtook everything on the road till he stopped at the local McDonalds and a two young guys came up to him (he says he thought they were looking for trouble and was ready to lock his doors) when they told him they had been trying to catch up and had struggled and asked him if he had noticed the Subaru behind him which he had and took no notice of till they apporached him at Mcdonalds

 

Silly me. I should have realized. It's an italian engine. VM Motori

Hope it wasn't a police Subaru

 

I feel the same with the 2.5CRD.. And that coming from a guy used to driving a motorcycle with 145 HP

BTW went to England 2 weeks ago (Brighton) ...
And notice the shadow bottom left in the picture who gave me a nice English surprise (see pic2)
