Alright, here's the deal. Last night, at work, my boss comes to me and tells me I have to go pick up a piece of equipment at Ramstein's PMEL building. He suguests taking our Renault Van, which is big and slow. It also has a worse turning radius than the SRT-4 (God only knows how!). The last thing he tells me is that the shop shuts down once I make it back. Uh oh! He wants me to haul @$$???:eveilgrin I told him to keep the french made krap, and that I'll have the job done in a heart beat. Going down there I kept it at "safe" speeds.:eeeek: It only took me a little over an hour. Once I got the piece of equipment, I fueled up, and it was on! I avoided A6 coming back due to the construction, but still got back in about 40 minutes, and that's with cooling time for the turbo (I really need to install my TT). I was cruising at 120 all the way back till I hit A60, and then it was 154 MPH back to Spangdahlem (Don't worry Manni, the sun roof is fine:frogtongu ). Before anyone assumes, I did slow down for certain areas due to actually speed limits, plus I had to give the turbo a little cooling time during the run. My boss dropped his jaw when I stepped into the shop! He had no idea what my car could do. He even asked how fast I went, and he just froze. There's nothing better than driving like that on the government's time.:thumbsup: I even got a phone call this morning thanking me for my "selfless" dedication, and that they're paying for my gas. I didn't even ask for that, but hey, I'm not gonna refuse!:clap:
Alright, for all you people that are from the states, please keep in mind that the Autobahns do not have a speedlimits in most areas. I did not share this with everyone just to incourage speeding. Anytime I hit a speed-controled area I slowed down accordingly. I also dropped speed when there was traffic. All of this started at 10pm, so there really wasn't anyone on the road. If you don't have anything positive to say, guess what? Don't say it.:tongue: I'm just trying to share my experience.
