I am working in Germany for the week. So I order a rental car from Hertz at Frankfurt. And the paper work says it is a Audi A3. Which sounds pretty good since I need to drive about 120 miles on the Autobahn. When I go and pick up the car in Frankfurt, they mentioned that my Audi A3 is gone and they give me a Madza 5, which is a Minivan. I was surprised that this Madza held up pretty good considering that I was driving about 180 Km/hour, roughly 111mph for parts of the trip. The big Mercedes and BWM were passing me at 180 like I was going backwards. During the whole trip, I was wondering how much fun I would have driving my Mustang while here.

Hopefully next trip, I will get that Audi or a BMW.

 

so THATS how it works...i always hear about people doing 180 or so on the autobahn and i say holy ****...so they are using that european system and its actually only 111mph....ahhhhhhhhh...so whats 140 mph?

 

Google it. Only 111mph? Thats pretty damn fast considering they won't get in trouble for it. Thats a pretty high speed to jsut be cruising at. I would love to go on the Autobahn though.

 

111 MPH gets you passed left and left on the autobahn

 

My Father had to work for a while in Germany a coupe of years ago. He said that he would drive about 120 mph in the work vehicle they supplied him with his employees and get passed like nothing. I would like to someday drive on the Autobahn in a suitable car.

 

Was Stationed in Germany for 2 year's and not alot of people drive that fast.In alot of area's there are speed limit's.
