My 126 BIS settles to a hum at between 60 and 70 mph but getting there is a bit noisy. On the downhill stretches, it went well beyond 80 mph but did not dare go any faster. It decelerates on the uphill and suddenly found myself in the slow lane, in heavy lorry and bus territory, a bit scary. But the car quickly recovered in speed as soon as the road levelled up - quite fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Captured a lot of curious looks and smiles from other motorists. Some actually cruising next to me or behind me for a couple of minutes before speeding away, as if they not seen a 126 before. Damn (sorry!) it is going to rain this weekend.

I often get chased by youngsters on bicycles!!! I usually play along by slowing down so that they can catch up - great fun.

Quite an engineering feat to install a V8 into a Fiat 126. I could not believe it until I saw it myself on Youtube. Awesome speeds. A huge engine in a little shell. How did you manage to keep the Fiat under control and accelerate in a straight line. I am sure you have had to heavily modify the front and rear suspension. Great stuff!!!
