Hey Merv! That steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car!
Here is my shot from a drive we took from Rothensberg, Germany on the way to Luxembourg.
One thing about going these speeds is shit comes at you FAST!! It was scary as hell but thrilling, too!
My car was in 6th gear on the SMG tranny. The HUD read out 152 mph and would do no better.

We went to Germany for the thrill of driving round the Nurburgring and yes it was fantastic but If I'm honest the thrill of driving flat out with no cops to contend with was a once in a lifetime experience not to be missed.
You're right about the sh*t coming at you fast I overtook a Fiat Panda at 150+ and it was if he was parked. I would love to have been a passenger in the Fiat and seen my car going past at that speed!
