hiamps:
Thanks Simon, hope you had a safe trip, wish I could have gone...LOL
Simon:
Well, an empty Autobahn at night is fun, I usually make the ~190 mile trip in about 2 hours. (~150 km/h average, about 94 mp/h or so.)
Don't tell the fuzz, now ;) Only Germany has no speed limits on some parts, here it's 130 km/h ~(81 mp/h).

I had a 67 VW Bug when I lived in Germany...It went slow uphill and a bit faster downhill...Made it as far as Innsbrook and just loved it. I think 190KMH was the fastest I ever went in a freinds mercedes. Where I live the freeways are always clogged, even at night. Seattle area.

Picked up a 545i at the delivery center in Munich in 05' and enjoyed a little time on the autobahn on my way to visit friends in Neu Ulm. At it's governed max speed of 155, it was smooth as silk and stable as hell. In my younger and less responsible days, I drove more than a few classic muscle cars at 120-130-140 mph that were on the verge of shaking apart, not to mention the VERY unstable steering and downright scary braking (drum brakes anyone?)
The 545i was (is) a most civilized experience. Only a couple of minutes into my "cruise", I saw "blinking" headlights appear quite rapidly behind me. Moving aside to the right, it was barely in time as a new 911 Turbo blew past me like I was standing still. Maybe 185-200ish? Porsche appears to be exempt from the vehicle speed governing ;)
Always owned GM vehicles in the past, but I'm "sold" on German now. Amazing engineering and experience, IMO.
Ok.. Back to topic.
Simon:
Lol. I'd have to agree though...german cars are built with the Autobahn in mind; and yes, going at 155 mph doesn't mean that you'll not get overtaken like you were standing still. I've reached ~195 mph with a motorcycle (myself) and ~180 with a car (though as a passenger) according to their speedometers. I'll admit it, I'm a bit of a speed freak ;) Well not just top speed, but racing, really.
Back to topic ;) New apps with Joe's fix have been compiled, I'll upload them today.
Happy crunching!
Simon.
