Charlie is still THE MAN.
Anyone with enough bucks can go out and buy a new Ferrari.
Charlie was within test error of the same speed in a CLASSIC car.

I learned yesterday that our Charlie McCall's record in Spain
has now fallen.  The snip from BBC follows:



Expat banned for 169mph speeding

A Scottish expatriate living on the Costa del Sol has been fined more 
than
£3,000 for driving at the highest speed ever recorded in Granada 
province.

Alan Heron, who is originally from Glasgow, was also banned from 
driving for
10 months.

Traffic police caught the 56-year-old speeding at 169mph in his Ferrari
California on a 75mph limit motorway near Baza on Wednesday morning.

Spanish police said it may also be the highest speed recorded in Spain.

Officers from the paramilitary Civil Guard chased Heron and recorded his
speed using a radar trap.

He was driving at 271kph (169mph), more than double the motorway speed 
limit
of 120kph (75mph).

The previous record was held by another Expat, from the USA in a 
DeTomaso
Pantera driving at 269kpm (168mph).

Following his court appearance on Thursday morning, police sa
id Heron 
keeps
several high performance cars at his home in Marbella.
