Need I say more? No speed limit is very fun, even in an econo-wagon.

So you took the A3? That's a fun road!

I took the A96 over to the west (Lake Konstanz) last year, what an awesome drive! Driving back, hit 220km/h several times, in a little diesel VW Scirocco! Man was that a fun car, surprisingly so.

My first run on the autobahn, clipping along at 200km/h, passed by a Porsche (Carrera maybe) and 7-series BMW, they must have been doing 300 at least! Screamed by me! They looked so cool though, hunkered down at speed, in their element!!!

Fun!

I'll be going back in January (BBBRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!)


Auf wiedersehen!!!

You guys know about the three guys took their Vettes to the LeMans race. They posted picture and videos and they had a great time.

Have fun Friz!

Damn, wouldn't that be a dream. For you my brutha, I can see you now; aviator helmet, goggles lowered and your long floppy ears flapping in the wind

Nobody's gonna slow me down

Jon....we've got a Focus Wagon diesel....6 speed manual. It will crank along just fine at abouit 180 kph, so about 112 mph. Much more and it ain't the most aerodynamic horse in the stables.... Still fun though....I had a Rolls Royce on A9 going toward Munich pass me like I was in reverse...
