Subject:      Re: 130mph V'gon

Mine haven't grown large enough yet (can I say that?) to try a top speed run in my SVX Westy. Besides being testicularly-challenged and the van being shod with commercial-truck-style Michelin XCA's, I haven't brought myself to try it. Maybe I never will. I will tell you it was accerating as hard at 100 mph as it does at half that speed. There was a whole bunch left. 130 seems quite believable to me.
