Wow, that would be dissapointing. Mind you, 219km/h is pretty fast!

That speed in a 116 would be a tad hair-raising, but a 450 will do 180km/h with plenty of headroom, and it gets there pretty quickly if you're crusing at 110km/h. ;)

Reckless driving is not recommended, however. 8)

A tad hair-raising is something of an understatement.  I've never driven faster than about 185 - and I don't think I'd ever take the 450 up that far!

When I sent this article to my wife, her reaction was: Where the F*CK were you doing 219km....?????????????????????????????

I was kinda chuffed that she thought it was me!
