Yeah! Thatīs it!
90 mph is fine, but not for overtaking ;-)


Once had 205km/h on my speedo, approx.
Well, it was about 5mm next to the odometer reset knob.
With my new tranny I will hit the "REAL" 200km/h, I hope, not just the
"speedo 200".


But thatīs not the speed for cruising.
Really exhausting...leaving the car every 300km for a fuel fillup ;-)))
