Was playing with my FL2 today to see if the top speed in the book was accurate. It is. But so much so that it felt that I had hit a limiter. Was progressing nicely and then hit 112 and bam, was going no further.

Anyone else seen this? 09MY FL2 Td4 XS, Style Pack, Privacy Glass, Martinique Blue.. oh so very blue..

You found the limiter then, fun isn't it?
Next service it will get flagged up on the diagnostic computer that you were speeding and they will have to report you to the nanny state  How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

Gone - 2010MY FFRR TDv8 Stornoway and Ivory, Privacy - the pace of a TDv8 RRS, the incomparable grace of a Range Rover
Gone but will be missed- RRS Tdv8 HSE Stornoway Grey with Ebony Leather
Gone (only a little missed) RRS Tdv6 2.7SE Giverny Green/Aspen
Defender 90 County HT in Epsom Green

strange

I had that out of mine, but didn't feel any restriction at that speed and it felt like it would have kept on going

Might have to have another run, if the conditions suit  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Unlikely as he would have to take his beloved van off the towbar first, still the Elise's would have difficulty overtaking to lap him  At work

I had just set off to on my way home and and the Sat Nav told me about a queue on the A1

I bet all the cars behind me satnav's would be saying "Slow Moving caravan on Road Would you like to avoid YES? or NO?"

When it first opened is was like open season every man and his dog seemed to be taking their motors for a bit of a thrash. But there seems to be quite a bit of enforcement activty these days.

While we're on about that road ... anyone know if the canal bridge will ever be connected ??? Stornoway Grey GS ... What a fine motor ... but not any more ... ... psst look at my gallery!

I have managed 120! Slight down hill, but ran out of tarmac otherwise might have slowly edged higher Freelander 2 XS 2.2 TD4 Met Black, with Winter pack, 18" alloys with General Grabber AT2 wellies, MANTEC Sump and Tank Guards

FYI - Speeding enforcement tends, no action up to 10% over speed limit as speedos can legally be plus or minus this amount. It all depends on your speedos accuracy. Warning up to 9 mph over the limit, fixed penalty from 10 mph to 19mph over the limit, except when in a 60 zone, where it's up to 84 pmh and a 70 zone, where it is up to 94 mph. In all other cases report to the prosecutor as the fixed penaly scheme isn't appropriate - i.e. not enough of a fine, points or disqualification. As a matter of interest, if you are liable to disqualification thro' totting up, even if your speed is a fixed penalty, you will get reported. Don't take this as gospel, every force has differing tolerances. Oh, and as for the 20 mph limit - there really isn't any leeway. You don't have to exceed the limit much before you are done like a kipper!

Yeah but going fast is really cool!  09MY FL2 Td4 XS, Style Pack, Privacy Glass, Martinique Blue.. oh so very blue..

Can anyone remember the episode on Top Gear when they wanted to find out how fast you have to go to prevent you speed camera from taking a photo of your vehicle? (in other words you had past the camera's range before it flashed) I think they managed it but cant remember the speed. Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black
