muneemmk, Do you have a travel agency catering all range of luxuries?

RPMPKDMFF · 16th February 2008, 11:19

1970 Corvette Stingray clocked nearly 120 mph (~195-200kmph) in it, I know it isn't much for a car of that league, but I drove it in early 2000... it was way past it's prime, but still had a lot of growl in it. The car wasn't mine though, beloged to a colleague of mine, till he decided to sell it, got AED 120,000 for it

. Would have bought it from him if I had the cash, a true sports car, good bang for bucks even in it's dotage.

Also clocked 185 kmph in a 2005 Toyota Corolla my dad used to have, and have crossed 200 kmph in his Chevrolet Epica.
