"Fantastic" Autobahns, roger!! What a gas (no pun intended) to know that the speed limit was how fast your vehicle would go!!

Some of the fun has gone out of the Autobahns, as I understand it; I've been told by folks who have lived there more recently than I (which was "back in the day" - HA!) they are imposing speed limits in many places.....shucks!

I'll never forget screaming (the engine was, literally, "screaming") along in my 225 cu in slant six Dodge at a mighty 110 mph (wouldn't go any faster, darn it!) and being passed by (1) a BMW 3.0 CSI (logo on right side of trunk lid), (2) one car-length behind the BMW a Nissan 240Z and (3) two carlengths behing the "Z" a four-door Mercedes (logo on LEFT side of trunk lid). These cars passed SO quickly that I didn't have time to scan to the side of the Mercedes trunk lid to see what model it was.

I was IMPRESSED!!!

I was there (Berlin) in 2000 and again in 2001. They have speed limits in the metro areas, for obvious reasons, but once outside the city limits, it’s pedal to the metal..............
