How fast is your car?
(Of course if you have a faster one than me, I wont believe you on a general priciple....  )
1992 Maserati 4.24v (modeltype IIa)
0-100 kph (0-62 mph): 5.9s (factory) 5.7s (measured)
Top speed: "over 240" (factory) 253 (measured)
Power output: 245 bhp (265 without cat)
Note that the car isnt modified in any way, it is completely standard except that I've replaced part of the fuel system with a stainless steel set of connectors (this particular type was a tad prone to engine fires you see :/ )

I've done about 100mph before, too gutless to go any higher.

1.0L VW Polo (2000)
Power output : 50bhp
0-60 (factory) : 18.4 seconds.
0-60 (measured) : 12.3 seconds (hurray for my ace clutch and rev controls heh---oh and optimax fuel)
Top Speed (factory) : 94
Top Speed (measured) : 105
Car in states :
3.5 Litre V6 DOHC Chrysler LHS (2000)
Power Output : 250 BHP
0-60(factory) 7.5 seconds
0-60(measured) 6.7 seconds
Top speed : Tbh ive got it upto 115 and theres a fk load left in the engine even then. the speed dial only goes to 120 so id need 'measuring' equipment to ever get a true reading. Lets just say around 150 ish.

I got upgraded to Business Class, on the 747 Upper Deck from London to Toronto when I switched flights, plus £150 in cash, then did the same and got another upgrade on United from Toronto to Anchorage and a free return ticket anywhere in the US.
Don't get uppity with me, sonny-jammy-jim.

uppity?
we flew here premium and will be flying back the same. extra seat pitch etc.
however we were upgraded to upper class last time for free due to overbooking. (what a terrible shame). 6 foot of legroom is rather nice...oh and the seat turned into a bed..
I should now have enough miles to get a free return ticket to any East Coast US destination.
or a free upgrade.
surely with your flying escapades you have amasses enough miles now to fly round the world ??

Yeah, but being given free tickets and cash is > air miles, which get dull after a while.
But yes, I don't plan on having to buy many tickets anywhere anytime soon.
