Fastest you've gone on a FWY onramp?

Here's the situation...You're getting off some side street and you go onto the loop before entering the freeway...no other car is there...just you and your Mini...pushing it as fast as you feel comfortable as you do the half circle before you head onto the freeway....How fast have you gone and did you ever feel you could lose control if you went any faster so you backed off. I had a friend who said he did 70 mph in his classic years ago as he got on the freeway in San Jose...could have been a fish story, not sure.

100+, the same here, the same ramp, every morning, and I do it like there is no oncoming traffic, never fails, never had an issue, never had danger, or put anyone in danger. Adrenalin rush, love it....:smile:
