What's the most you've gotten out of your disco 1 300 tdi?


  • Total voters
    96
I know my V8 will do over the ton. I also know what it sounds like to hear fuel being pumped through the lines faster than the tank can be filled :s
 
got 90 out of my old 90 after putting 200tdi in and putting a 300 disco transfer box in ,wouldn't recomend it though as she was howling like a banshee and shakin' like a crapping puppy so hoping that the disco deals with speed better than the 90 when she's fixed up.
 
we do about 50/55mph and just enjoy the drive, and it's so enjoyable looking in the rear view mirror and seeing the ****ed off look on the faces of the h g v drivers following,( nice to get your own back at times)
 
Do that one quite often to ****ers too :D

Had some woman right up my arse the other day, I was doing 38 in a 40 limit, and she was screaming at me, could see her going mental in the mirror, waving her arms around, ****er signs etc.

I thought seeing as this is so much fun, wonder what happens when I go down to 20? Much more mental. Beeping her horn etc. Couldn't get past me still so I went right down to 5 at one point, right up until the next roundabout :D She was having a whale of a time :D Hopefully make her think next time.
 
Some dick in a fiesta was behind me on my way back from kendal…..had the towbar on the back so decided to play chicken with the ****er :)


60 zone done at 30 then into the 40 at about 10 before gunning it and leaving him flashing his lights at me :p


I've noticed that a lot of bastards also don't like to dim their lights when they see me approaching or flash me at night because they think I have full beam on……..luckily my spotlights can out blind them and I should be fitting a set of 150w KC daylighters soon :D
 
I had mine creep up over 65 once untill I noticed and lifted off a bit, it's a bugger with an extra couple of tonne of boat on the back. I usually try to keep it about the same speed as the lorries when towing but don't prat about if I'm passing one.

I think I've done about 75 but normally stick to 65ish 'coz I'm tight and hate filling up, I have to do that often enough without going daft with the loud pedal.

If your towing you shouldn't be doing more than 60mph anyway.
 
mine is a little sick at the mo :(, and won't go above 55, until I hit a hill, then i'm lucky if I can 40 out of the poor girl :(

How the Jim Buggery do you not get snaking? at anything over 50/55 mine tries to kill me when towing...

What Buckshot said. It'll trundle along nicely @ 60 all day. I was coming off Beatock downhill when the speed got up a bit and I could feel it wasn't as comfy going that fast, slowed it down to 60 and it was fine and dandy.

Of course cat like reflexes help ;)

Or they would if I had them.:doh:
 
who the f*** got 140mph???

best i got was 90mph ( ish) but that were scary and i think it worried every one around as there were no cars coming anywhere near me :)


only way u get 140 outta 300tdi is down the side of everest ! haha:eek:
