185 mph my arse Ollie. But you are ragging it! If it wasn't for that Corsa, no doubt you would have broken the land speed record!

iv had 105 (down a slight hill) lol out my 1.8 55d

[boycalledrambo]

we had a ton out of my mates escort van 75 on the motorway but i fink my 55 would do about 110 (lighter) and better maintained

If you have the foot to the floor and going down a holl i don't think you can really try any harder....

[somerandomvideo]

You're not trying hard enough, I own an R reg 1.8l naturally aspirated Ford Escort van, and I've managed to get it 105mph on the speedo, just over 100mph gps verified

85mph is about right for the 1.8. It doesnt help that you appear to have a full tank of fuel on though which slows it down a tad. Although my occaisional trips over 80 have used soo much diesel perhaps its a good idea.

Can only get 80 out of mine and thats downhill! god knows what it would be like with a load in the back

hey...

thts unusual for an escort van....

i hav a mark 4 escort van 1.8d and ive dun ova 100mph in tht easy!

i think tht van is shagged m8.....cause ova the years me and my father hav owned probably 15 - 20 escort vans....and only one of them was tht slow....and it was because it had a petrol gearbox! lmao......good old wagons escort vans.....but not exactly fast! lmfao :P

if u want a nippy van...get the 1.8tdi and get it chipped...they can do in excess of 130MPH!!!
