Could I just remind everyone that this photo was taken in Germany on an un-restricted part of the Autobahn system and that no animals where killed or injured in the making of the picture. :D

Just a bit, the fuel gauge was dropping as the speed increased.

Lucky for me that I was stationed in Germany with the British Army and got Tax-Free fuel about £15 in fill it from empty!!

Reminds me of when I went to Texas to work for a while, in 1999. 70 cents a gallon. :P
It breaks my heart fuelling in this country. :'(
£63 yesterday.  I need a better paid job.

Since moving back to the UK the Omega is only for Sunday's, lucky I get to drive a 1.9 cdti Vauxhall Signum 150bhp the rest of time.

Yup, 156mph, confirmed/backed up by Origin B2 GPS.  8-)

She still had plenty left, but i wasn't in Germany, and i kinda like having a licence, so i bottled it.

When you go back to the Fatherland and i come visit, you can do the filming/picture taking.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
