You probably wont have to worry about it much longer because you will probably unlicenced or dead. Good luck

Hypothetically, Jesus take some English lessons.
I also hypothetically hope you a) are doing this in the N.T or b) Lose your licence very soon and have to fork out a lot of money. |

on a serious note, look at your door hinges, pannel gaps, rubber quality and possably adjust the striker position.

I also have the wind noise but not at that speed (between 80 - 110)..
Apparently mine is the alignment or something like that (getting fixed in New Year)....... Could be your seals though, check them and see if they look warn and crappy. But mind you, why on earth would you need to go at that speed 'regularly' anyway???????????? |

I Suggest that if it doesn't make the noise at the speed limit, then you should try sticking to the speed limit. I had Ef once. It felt at 115 that it would fall apart at 120.

You will find that the '95 falcon wasn't designed to travel that fast after 10 years!

I was going to say either how you do you want to live, or do you cherish your licence?

Sounds funny but aerodynamics people....
