150km/h? that's a cruisy speed in the UK ;) most of them drive faster than that, as they all own fantastic european cars that can handle higher speeds. so many of the current models of lexus, saabs, beamers, etc. its a rarity to see any jap or korean cars, unlike aus. and there are so many country roads (like that one) where u can drive along for ages and never see a car - esp scotland ;) lol great roads to organise cruises on! but stay away from wales: can't read the road signs + the locals are crazy ;) heheh

max was about 85 to 90mph, which is approx. 140 to 145kmh.
change up to 3rd just over 60mph (100kmh) red line, and up to 4th at 85mph (140ish) which is roughly a quarter mile.
when i did the drags i was on the red line in third as i crossed the line.

and yes, the road was wettish, as usual here!!!
thats why the slow start, the side of the road was a bit slippy.......
