Smile Driving on German Autobahn

After some of my Acura friends asked for a video of a ride on the german Autobahn, here we are. Traffic was a little to much, but I have met a Porsche Carrera S, so I followed him a while. He got no chance to escape - more because of traffic than of my powerful CU2. Or maybe he only got luck I have to leave the Autobahn before him. LOL
I need a Co driver who holds the camera, next time. But the car, only lowered with springs is very good driving with one hand, even at 220kmh, no prob.

Sweet video. the tsx is getting quite a work out looks like. Cool too see you guys going that fast with the other cars around. Too bad Americans are such shit drivers, would love it if we could go that fast and not have to worry about people being idiots.

This thread actually inspired me to go up to the hills this evening. I went around dinner time so I pretty much had the entire road to myself. Wasn't going 200kph, but I did feel the Gs from the tight corners at relatively high speed. I was pretty exhausted afterwards. Love those Bridgestones! Here's the route I took:

I was happy that he didnt step on the throttle. He enjoyed the little race, too, and didnt pace too much for me.

Tank you ed, and yes, you guys make me learn so easy, because I enjoy you, Aziners so much. Thanks to all, who make me laugh and learn so often in your Forum. Much more family than our german Forum!

There are are a lot of idiots on our streets too. But with the time I have learned to recognize them from far away. Haha
And I think in germany are only a few years left where you can drive without Speedlimit. This shitty Eurolaws will come to Germany soon, and then we have a 130kmh Limit as the most Eurostates

Youre route looks like a lot of fun to drive. I like to drive such routes more than Autobahn, where it goes almost straight all time. Like to drive curvy roads in 1sr and 2nd gears and hit the right breaking points, much more, especially with my Prelude 4WD.

Are you Germans really going to accept EU 130 kph mandated limits. I mean, it's like the french not beinh allowed to make Roquefort anymore, or banning fish and chips in Britain, or Guiness in Ireland. Or hockey in canada. Don't stand for it! If germany loses its unrestricted roads how long before all manufacturers are banned from making cars that go over 130kph....

We got a lot of stupid german Politcs, from the Green Party, who wants to make us ride on horses again. They would love to have a Speedlimit. They are against everything. If we doesnt have such a big Car Industry, we would have Speedlimits, since years. Makes me wonder too, why the car manufactures are building cars with more and more HP???
