When playing with cruise this morning I managed to set it at 155mph.

I wasn't travelling any where near that speed though, but the car was accelerating to try and get there before I intervened...

Regards,

A friend of mine once started pushing the cruise stick forwards rapidlly from the passenger seat and got it to 155mph. The car started accelerating towards it too before I intervened!

If you set the cruise control to 155 and then try and push it to 156/160, it cancels. Not that I've tried ...

I did try that and it didn't cancel - just doesn't go any further than 155mph...

I sure would like to know what he/she was doing to accomplish this feat! The cruise stalk is on the opposite side of the steering column from the passenger. Sounds like a possible case of public indecency.

Hahhahaha! I'm in the UK. The stalk was on her side of the wheel!! Unfortunately

".....Honestly, Occifer, she was only playing with my stalk!"
"Step out of the car please sir....."
