Lol I hate driving on motorways and stuff. As soon as I hit 70 in 5th gear I can literally put my foot to the floor and the acceleration is painfully slow. Half the time I go out to overtake people it takes me 20 seconds to catch up with them

a little over 70mph and you'll notice it picks up speed alot better, the acceleration/torque comes quite late in the rev range in the 1.1.. getting from 70mph to 80mph is alot harder than say 78mph to 88mph.
However you should be keeping a constant speed on the motorway anyway, for fuel efficiency

Drop down to 50mph, put it into 4th than just floor it to 60+ than straight into 5th, works for me lol, mind i had a full car on the a19 i had my foot to the foor and wasnt picking up much speed.

I bought a cheap run around 1.1i saxo, 128k on clock.. hit 100 mph with 3 in the car. 95 in 4th, could only pick up 5mph in 5th, seemed to lose power. suppose with a big hill (and patience) You may get 105-109. Thats a total billy bog though, So if some of these lads have mods then maybe the 115mph is possible.

I reach 100mph in a 1.0 12v Vauxhall Corsa once, with 17's on it. I must admit the truth it took me one massive hill to get there and about 30 minutes. Lesson being: Don't buy nothing lower then a 1.6 IMO.

And how would you have felt if you had binned said Saxo at 100mph and killed everybody but you?
...Fun times on your own, on a clear road... put someone in the car with me and im a completely different driver... OH and to the guy who said overtaking in a 30mph zone in second... shame on you!

Just look after it as you have been doing make sure it is machanicley sound, maybe take it to a strip to open her up but do it slowely.
My 106 could beat a quicksilver up to 70, along with a 1.4 corsa "04" shape.
Was pretty quick but when i got my saxo just felt like i dont need to race as i know i can beat a fair few cars, so dont bother now.

That is very tru I had 115 on the clock and the road angle was sayin 102. I've completly stripped out the whole of the back out cos I don't ever need to pick up anyone it drones like hell in low revs but when u get higher does sound good. I've only got a k&n cone but I find if ur out and about only take it up to three thousend rpm and when I want abit fun I dnt get close to redline I leave at least 500 rpm then change up
