I wondered when "P.C." would poke it's nose in THERE.

As I understand it, GERMAN drivers OBEY THE RULES OF THE ROAD. So, I'd imagine the way that highway is designed, "speed" is no big deal at all in any area OTHER THAN the world of the "P.C.", enviornment loons.

Look for whomever votes for - or campaigns for - this "limit" being shown the door by German voters in the next election!

(Not that you ARE, or WOULD ... but if you DID "carry" - whut would it be? Mine would be a stub nose .38 ... hollow point equipped, of coarse ... "IF" I were to "carry" that is. But I'd NEVER think of doing that ... 'too dangerous ... 'too "redneck" ... and besides, what would Rosey O. think of me???:shrug )

The autobahn is not going anywhere. Its my dream to drive on it, and I cannot give up on that dream.

It will never happen. What do you expect the "Environmental Commissioner" from the EU to say?

Welcome to world government :bored

The natural flow of traffic and congestion already limit the speeds on much of the autobahn. The notion that it's a complete free for all is already dead.

The German government invests billions making sure their road system is durable and usable for these speeds. This goes back what, 70 years now? If you ask me, it's the model of what a roadway should be. Not what it shouldn't. I only wish we put the kind of engineering and upkeep resources into our roads here, instead of the annual half-assed patchwork we get...

German government already rejected this EU propsal, yesssss :banana
Otherwise that would mean outrage and anarchy over here and they now :biggrin Freie Fahrt für freie Bürger - so we say !:wink
But I guess what will fall soon is smoking in bars and restaurants. Well I could live with that..

So guys, come over and have fun on the Autobahn as long as you can, the last resort of hot rubber lovers and gas burners :ack
Made Dresden-Berlin in less than one hour on Saturday - Ekkehard you would have been proud of me :lol Axle bolts are still in place...
