...km/h about 87 mph.

Was today once again on a business trip to Tampere.
That is a about 380 km freeway drive <->.

140 km/h is a safe and effective speed and it makes good milage.

The only problem is that one could go into a narcosis, so I had to
take a cellcam pic...

Sorry about the provocative heading ;-)

Can you trust the pic or a photo? :blink:


PS. But if I could buy a E60 in swedish prices I would dive a 550iA!
Hardrock hallelujah...

I agree Ric, I don't think my car is ever happier than when it's crusing at 90 mph or so. Just seems to be the perfect speed, fast enough, no stress on the the engine, no drama. Just the way it should be!

Your pic has to do with speed, mine with milage and legal travelling :wow:

I'm not sure if I could get my speedometer to show 270 km/h even if I
would drive downhill, have the sun and the wind in my back and have a hell
of on need to go to the toilet...
