The paperwork I've had has only shown ever shown the high 30s and only one of those in the Macan, fortunately the 154 was only witnessed by my my youngest, briefly, on a very quiet E York's Mway, you can look on YouTube but you won't find it. Wasn't lockdown wonderful. Back down to 3 points now...
So you're telling us that you did 154mph on a UK road, and with your daughter in the car?

You going to say you've never broken the speed limit Nick?

That's up to him. Would it make a difference if she was 3 years old or 30 years old?

Breaking the speed limit is breaking the speed limit.
Is 154mph on a quiet motorway worse than 40mph past a school at 3pm on a week day , 70mph down a twisty country lane?

If someone is happy trucking along at an absolute maximum of 60 or 70mph I have no idea why they would want to buy a 400hp Porsche....
I am happy trundling along at an indicated 71mph and bought a 354 bhp Porsche for it's gearbox, ride, handling, comfort and refinement.
