The older 57 Reg batch are Euro 4, And have 5 Speed ZF Ecomat's, They can reach 62mph easy but wont get any faster as the engine revs are simply too high to go any faster.

Only one is off the road for overheating mind  Wink

Haven't got a clue on the VDL Gemini, I'm actually from South Shields.

They're all limited to 65-67mph, although the 09-plates take a lot longer to get there.  The 15-plates at Durham seem a lot more stable when doing 60, but the 09-plates feel like they're going to rip themselves apart.
