hes testing it! So what.
I took my mother in laws VW Polo in for a brake problem, said it was shaking from braking at 130kmh. He checked it, found something was in backwards... and took it to 180km/h and braked from that to check it was working. I was HAPPY with that. (This was in France, where there are 130zones.) I found it funny, the mechanic happily told me about that! So different to here! Love it! |

It's not like he was sitting on the limiter. And that noise he thought he heard at 50/70/90/110 is obviously gone.....
