Just got back from Germany.
Drove the AutoBahn and loved it. People where very good about moving over, and noticing what was running up on the fast side. It is really not an issue to travel at speed. Everyone is very respectful of their driving and very considerate about faster moving vehicles. Their is no ego or pissing matches going on. Very relaxing. Drove from Munich to Stuttgart in 1:15. It is 235 KM distance. It was early in the morning, lite traffic, all drivers played well together. Even on the drive back it was a holiday weekend in Germany, things went very well, took a bit over 2 hours to get back to Munich, but made it with out issue, and with out frustration. I was driving an S class Benz, speed limited to 250KM, and yes I had it up there. Loved the car, roads are so much better than the US roads. When the roads are unsafe for high speeds they do have limits. If you never driven the AutoBahn and experience German driving you are missing out. BTW. I was passed by a Panamera Turbo, a GT3RS, and a McLaren 720S like I was standing still, I was doing 220 clicks at that point. If there was some Range Rovers around with the boot up and a camera crew I would have figured it was the Top Gear boys out having some fun. It was just a group of guys out on Holiday. Also was at Monaco for the F1 race and qualifying. No I am not that rich, just great timing on my part, and lots of luck. Once in a life time event for me, Monaco is way to expensive for my blood. |
