Well done Drew!
There nothing wrong with speeding as long as its safe controlled and not in residential areas!
There no point in having a T5 if you cant use it occassionally I for 1 love empty motorway sliproads at night or seeing the national speed limit(always up for debate) meaning I can stamp on the loud peddle!

No wonder some volvo drivers get accused of being slow ponderous beardie weardies

the quieter roads are, the more likely you'll come accross road debis, and animals running out in front of you

So canning it down a duel carraigeway or any other road at 2am is not recommend. As since it is quiet, noone will hear your screams when the next unsuspecting driver comes along and plows into you!
