I have brought it up a few clicks past 85-but if you wanna drive that fast I am afraid the vanagon is not powerful enough top sustain those speeds safely-I mean without messing up a perfectly good engine. And I can't remember the last time I saw a vanagon with under 100,000 - mine has 213,000 clicks and its still the best running vehicle I have owned in a long time because I drive it like a vanagon and not a musclecar. gary in Stuart 84 Vanagon 72 baha beetle my homepage http://dieselslave.tripod.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam B" <TheCoolestGuy87@AOL.COM> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Friday, March 05, 2004 5:19 PM Subject: friday...whats the FASTEST youve driven in your vanagon????
