Cool story. They're insane.

loved the story.

I've done Upper Hutt to Auckland Sales Street on 5 hours 20 minutes back when I was in my 20's. I left my girlfriends place at 5am and got to work at 10.20am. It was 1998 and I was driving a 1987 2.0 litre Honda Accord - I think my average speed for the distance travelled was 145kph. I got lost near Hamilton and ended up heading to Morrinsville. The Honda was economical but not driven like this. I filled up at Bulls, then again at Waiouru, and still ran out of petrol on the the New market flyover. I coasted off the next exit and used the starter motor to get across an intersection and to a petrol station.

It was insane.

It was the best drive of my life.

No way I'd do anything remotely like it now, although i do like to let rip on a pair of skis LOL

Loved that read. Has the movie been finished yet? I went on their blog and the lsat update was in 2009.

We've all done our record speed runs, I just wonder when the lock hammer will come down .

My personal record was low 40 minutes from barkes corner in TGA to Hillcrest roundabout in Hamilton in my Integras. Still averaged under 10L/100km somehow. NB: All done at 1am, so no one else was harmed. I don't think I'm dumb enough to do that these days. Time and a place

^ The reason i post this up the same day that i saw it on a Meguiars Car Crazy, they were at some show at the middle of this year promoting it.

sh*t, that's moving.

I value my licence too much to try break time records, but have made it from Tauranga to Whakapapa ski area in 2 hours whilst itching for a days skiing.

Time and a place indeed.

2hours 15 minutes Whakapapa (bottom of the bruce rd) to Wellington (Karori).

About 17 years ago in the we small hours. Hardly a car on the road.

Wouldn't dream of it these days.

I'd be happy to make it in double that time
