I could have gone faster, but it was just a hire car and was happy at that. must say after sitting at that speed for an hour or so makes 100kmh feel like walking pace.want to drive a Lambo or Ferrari in Paris? only 89 euros for 20 mins. didnt do it due to the roads in Paris are really sh*t, no motorway for a 1/2 hour radius and id hate to think of the issues if something happened.and this I found odd. I presume Lambos (and the ferrari was the same) that they have a seperate caliper for the handbrake... (this was only the rear wheel)must say the cars over there made the Foons look like crap, as standard cars go. base model C220 had everything you could think of, electrics, sat nav, custom screen in the dash, and sat perfect and quiet at 180kmh. was weird driving a desiel at that speed and kinda had a tractor feel to it, and when it turns off every time you put it in netural at the lights is a ver weird feeling, but still a way more advanced car. saw 100's of Porsche's, and Merc's and BMW's are their falcons and commodoores.
