Now I'm no angel when it comes to driving my car, but I do not generally thrash it.

I'm sure they'll have a list of excuses on why it was driven like that, testing this and that sensor and needed to get th car into high speed lowered suspension mode, coffee and bacon butties would haven got cold

On arrival to pick your motor up, ask for the dealer principle the service manager and the technician who road tested your motor to be present on explaining all the work that has been carried out on your vehicle, then hit them with both barrels. I'm glad ive got an incar camera that records everything. |

There is absolutely no excuse for driving at that speed. It is illegal!!!!!

Not condoning the behaviour, but speeding doesn't necessarily mean thrashing.

Your right I'm focusing on the maximum speed with a car with an ABS fault, but looking in detail on the tracker speeds were 67 in a 50, 93 in a 70 then slowing down for a roundabout, round the roundabout then back up to 92 in a 70 slowed to 90 in a 70 back to 70 in a 50, 7 miles in 8 minutes, including a 50mph zone a roundabout with traffic lights and a dual carraigeway is not what I would call considerate driving to MY car .
