Somewhere in Germany's fine, still a bit of way but what the hell.. I like roadtrips
And yeah, autobahn could be good fun.. See how much difference in speed there is IRL, between the different models
Only thing with the unlimited sections on the autobahn, is that you need to watch your mirrors..

im in guys!
we need to set start and end destinations.
from there we can all work out individual fuel costs. and time scale of the drive. once we done that we can see who wants to stop where n plot it on the route, then its a case for voting to see where are the stop markers going to be finding accomodation budget for food.
after that we can check dates n then before you know it we are off!
looking forward to it though!
Deany edit the first post with a list of names for attending mate

Don't get your hopes up with the autobahns guys. They're normally to busy to get flat out, last year I didn't get much above 120mph due to traffic The route we took meant they were only short ones too.

I'm hoping the traffic isn't as bad this year so I can get past 160mph I know the car will go off the clocks but there's limited areas to try that in the UK.

My current top is 157mph which is near as dammit but would like GPS confirmation too as the speedo reading that would be closer to 135/140 at a guess.

Just make sure you end up in Nurbug, and not Nuremburg. People seem to confuse the two.
