Joel wrote it's Friday:

My father did similar years ago on a holiday trip second day driving.
During talking to me he accelerates the Vanagon in fourth gear until we
reached the 110 km/h mark. This is the country road speed limit in
Germany including some maybe accepted additional speed. And he stayed
in the fourth for about 15 minutes until I asked him why. Then he
recognized and shifted to the fifth.

Maybe I have to tell that second to fifth are equal to first to fourth
of a four speed box.
