Andy, you're my hero 
285 on the autobahn -- good work mate 
I've driven 275 in an M-Roadster (M version of Z3) and I came out completely deaf -- you're choice of high speed machine is definately a much wiser one!
Pleased to hear you managed to squeeze in a final blast before winter kicks in. Where abouts did you end up doing the run?
p.s.
Your mission, should you decide to take it, is to find a nice long open downhill stretch of autobahn and have a crack at the big 300...

Wow!!! The thrill and excitement of speed. Pure adrenaline. I've only done 15.0 in my car and can only imagine how thrilling it can be to get up into the higher speeds.
Awesome video Andy. Thanks for sharing!
