Mini sets land speed record

On the way home from work today, there was a good tailwind and I put the hammer down. The Garmin says it all.

I think my Garmins top speed is in the 400's. I havn't used it in forever though, so I can't be sure.

I wonder how long this thread will last before MotorOn reminds us of the site guidelines about "excessive speeding."
