True, but the speed limit for Bippers is 50mph on A roads, and 60mph on dual carriageways.

My old LDV used to do 85mph with the wind behind it.
It was always an exhilarating experience because you never knew whether the engine would blow or the doors would fall off.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
