I remember reading about a German chap who used a McLaren F1 for a commute on an unlimited section of the autobahn - his average speed was so high McLaren contacted him to check that everything was OK.

Edit: I think you had to physically plug it into a phone socket... in case anyone was being put off buying an F1 for security/privacy reasons. ;-)
