What is the fastest speed you have ever experienced on the Autobahn, Motorway, Autostrada, or, Freeway?
What type of car, and, at what time of the day, or, night? Were you the driver, or, a petrified passenger?
120mph in a - wait for it - Volvo estate. On the M1 as well!
I should stress that I wasn’t driving, we were going downhill (excellent visibility), the road was clear and dry and we had just cleared a block of traffic.
I would never let anyone I’m in a car with drive at a speed I believe they are incapable of maintaining safely, including myself.

Around 120 MPH in a souped up Austin Healey 3000.
We did Haverfordwest to London in about 5-6 hours, this was before the motorways were built mind you. It was night and it was fun, I was a passenger.

had 140mph on the speedo of nissan 200sx, driving thru the nite from aberdeen to london for Guns N Roses concert in the late 80’s. got overtaken once on the way down, by a bloke on a K1 BMW bike, with a passenger on the back, think we were doing about 135 at the time and the road was a bit damp, i thought we were mad. way back up the road bloke in a 500 SL merc blew us away as soon as we hit the motorway, after a good blast thru some twistys. never felt scared, car was remarkably stable, loved that car amazingly quick for a 1.8, and rear wheel drive such a hoot

Down a lonnnnng hill, in a rental car (always the worlds’ fastest!) over 145mph to get the ferry back from the French F1 Grand-Prix in 1995.
And for an average (speed-cameras would stop you doing this today) I got back to my house from Ilfracoombe, some 182 miles, in 1 hr 57 mins some years back, in the tuned Opel Ascona I had then. About 93mph as an average, and some 35 miles of that was on narrow roads at about 70mph. It drank a tank of fuel!

Having been in germany in 2005 I had the opportunity to drive a Bugatti Veyron on the A 80 to A 89 in Baden to Württemberg. at one point I had it up to near top speed at about 152 MPH it was mid day sunny and roads dry.
The handling of the car was absolutely incredible.
I hate to disapoint some of you but other than a few motorcycles the fastest production automobile is the Bugatti Veyron at 155 Mph so those of you in cars I don’t think so
