It is awesome. I never get the chance to do that here, unfortunately. 130 mph in Sweden equals a hefty fine and a license lost forever.It's a shame because the Jag can do 155 before the control modules choke the V8.
I did about 130 mph on my way back from Prague last spring on the Autobahn. There is a nice stretch between Dresden and Berlin.

I don't think I would lose my license forever here for driving 100 MPH, but the fine would be hefty and if I didn't lose my insurance, the rise in premiums would make the fine look cheap by comparison.
Been there done that +, in a beat up GTI with a bad front end and shitty tires full of fix-a-flat.I miss that car. Think I've only hit 95 or so in the S10, once or twice on the rare occasion I didn't have the boy with me and there were no cops around.

I really thought you meant forever. Is that a good sign or a bad sign?

Think I've only hit 95 or so in the S10, once or twice on the rare occasion I didn't have the boy with me and there were no cops around.The 150 km/h I did in a nearly 20 yo Audi 80. Car did feel just as stable at that speed as at 80 km/h.Going 120 km/h in the Renault 19 couple of years before that was way more exciting. It gave me the feeling that the only structural integrity of the car was located in the driver.
