·Now I'm back from my hols and have time to catch up in work and stuff I just thought I'd write a little about some experiences I had.
Firstly Germany!
I must say that the Autobahn was an interesting experience, I drove through Germany in 2 days, lots of traffic and Very bad weather, the Germans however don't seem to care about bad visibility. 500m visibility in the dark and I still regally saw BMW's, Merc's and Audi's doing well over a ton, god would know what would have happened if someone had pulled out, judging on normal day time driving the guys in the slow lane already know that they are taking their lives into their own hands if they simply decide to pull into the fast lane to overtake someone, a car moving from 50 mph into the fast lane with cars doing well over 130mph is going to have a very nasty shock.
Anyway I managed to red line my car 5th and got an impressive 155mph, I think given a little less head wind and a down hill stretch I could have gone a little bit faster
Half the problem was finding a stretch of road that was empty enough and straight enough to see traffic of the elderly driver variety that might decide for no real reason to swerve violently into the fast lane for no reason.

The other fun part of Germany was one of the first towns we passed through, I was very happy to stop in the town of [email protected] for a quick photo
