Top Speeds

[aiboart]

220-222kph frequently in autobahn runs in Germany, often in the wet. This was in an Audi A6 turbo-diesel station wagon and my colleague was finalizing the presentations at the time with his laptop.

It sounds impressive but it is altogether very ho-hum.

The roads aren't all that amazing either.

The A6 is a very nice car, a great hauler. However the XR6-T is in every respect, dynamics, linearity, sophistication etc a jet fighter to the A6 commuter aircraft. It takes a while to trundle up to 220kph in an A6 TD.

Interestingly no German cities exploded and no one made the national press whilst we were driving in Germany... Really, the attitude there is if you wipe yourself out in a single vehicle accident, it is your fault, not that of the government and no one really cares.

Also interesting is that nearly all Germans drive crap low end hatchback cars pretty much everywhere you go in the country. Be ever so grateful for the high end RWD Fords and Holdens we have here.

In Australia top speed with a superior car and comparable roads, 110.000000000000kph. Otherwise as we all know the cows will give sour milk and the trees will wilt, just ask the sanctimonious disciples of the Inner City Green Religion, as they set of on their next jet around the world, in the process burning up enough fuel to run a V8 for a couple years (half a decade if they go business class).
