mmm... autobahn

with all the traveling i did in germany on highways aka autobahns I only managed to see 2 Porsche's co past us at around 120K/hr :(

Oh and there is a urban myth to the whole 'unlimited speed' issue on these roads.

- YES There is a speed limit 100k/hr

- YES busses, trucks stay to the far right lane

- YES cars can use any of the 4 lanes working slowest-fastest (right to left)

- YES If you are in a faster lane and someone is coming up behind you YOU MUST MAKE WAY FOR THEM

- NO the is no magic lane with an unlimited speed (as such)

Basically what the rules are that if you are in a car that is capable of 150k/hr SAFELY! (in the german police's eyes) then they will not pull you over for traveling in the far left lane (uber fast lane)....however if you are in a 1978 merc with rust all through it balding tyres and a deployed airbag....they will stop your @ss quick smart for even thinking of taking that thing over 80K/hr

Its all about common sence driving over there....and when you see a 4 lane highway with people that know HOW TO DRIVE ......... it really is amazing how well it flows......even in peak hour

OH and bill....can you pop into St Goas for me and get me a new Stein or 2 and then head back to Munich and grab me some beer from the Hofbrauhaus
