Top speed

[azrael]

I've had 185 (Speedo) on the autobahn, it takes a long time to squeeze the top end out though.

The speedo over reads around 10mph at those sort of speeds though...

And some mate acording to my GPS ...

Ah ..Dan and Alex have already alluded to the above previously !

175-180mph (GPS) is absolutely it. With a standard car any more is not possible.

Unlss dropped from a great height, and even then 180 ~200 mph is about max for a free falling body in normal atmosphere !
I got up to that speed once , head down though !! never done it in a car yet !

Quite. It'd have to be a fuckin' big cliff!

Is that what they chucked you off when you did 200 free fall Dunc?

When I went in !!! lol












Kids came along, wifey wasnt too happy about explaining away why daddy wouldnt be home this week-end ! ... I did have 3 malfunctions in 150 jumps, so as stats go thats pretty bad actually ! my mate had about 3500 jumps and not a single reserve ride ! ...that should have been my handle "Reserve Ride Rogers" ... I even had a fookin high speed mal and reserve ride on the first jump of my old AFF course ffs ... great bit of video, would be a Youtube moment, shame I lent the vid out and it got lost ! Its all a time thing or I wouldnt mind burning a hole through the air again, albeit a much bigger fooker than before ! tried my old jumpsuit on a few years ago .... not a chance !! ... old style now, cost a fortune back then, made to measure with all the grips ! will try and get in it again and post a pic !
