Oh, and over here standard commute speed is 85mph anyway (is that the same in the US?). Motorway racing is a bit tricky, as you'll get banned if caught over 100, so the only really fun stuff is the twisty bits in the highlands, borders, dales and Wales, as you can stay under the speed limit and still push things.

Point taken.

I see now where the excitement comes from. Always having that cold sweat feeling in the back of your neck that you might get caught by the police (or not).

Boy, how boring it is - compared to you guys - to zoom along on the German autobahn at 240 clicks an hour (~150mph) and it being perfectly legal.
