Guys, I'm okay with wherever you guys want to go to. Just want to hit the N-S highway and blast her - just this once - so that I know what I'm paying for.

Most travellers would have gone thru customs the evening before, but I am sure there'll be some who'll make a last minute dash in the morning.

Let me know what you guys decide.

If you blast your way there, then I will have to meet you half way; me on my way up, and you on your way back.

Guys, cool it. Don't think I'll go all the way - personally think I'm not capable of it. The very most I've done in my E66 was 180 kph. Don't think I'm skilled enough to go past 200 kph on a highway and even if I do, it'll be like for maybe 1 Km or so; just for the experience.
Driving at 150 kph is bad enough. Everything just zooms past you. Going at 200 kph is quite suicidal. Every bend will seem like a corner and every corner that you take will seem like hell.

Hey, Stranger, you sound very familiar. I can hazard a guess but not now.

i was just kidding Ed.
the last time when i tested drove the e60 on NS highway, i held 240kph for a few kms only... not knowing the road well is scary and paranoid about cars jumping into your lane.

Just poking funs with zag. No worry. The fastest I have ever done at NS highway was 190+ for about 1-2 km only. And I had to fix all my attention on the road. Luckily I slowed down early, cause a petrol appeared a couple of minutes after that.

And ED, don't think I have met you. The only persons I have met here are Junior who seldom posts, and Tategoi, from our days with our previous rides.

Well, hope can meet you guys one of these days.
