BUT and its a big but

Motorbikes do this sort of driving and at higher speeds every day yet nobody seems to bat an eyelid as they are bikes.

Just food for thoight

Slightly surprised by your top speed with that power Ant - I'd blame it on a deceptive hill and a headwind - 260bhp should get you 150mph +, even with the Mini's brick aerodynamics.
Fastest I've had mine (220bhp or thereabouts) was 130mph at the Ring (Schwedenkreuz - hairy) and obviously that will be some way off top whack, so I reckon yours MUST go more than 135!
