The e60 really seems to shine on these long trips. I find this a good test. If you still like your car after a long trip, well chosen. Mostly, people will find something that really bothers them on a trip like this. I found I was happier with my e60 after my summer trip than before.


Hmmm...maybe I should join that Tail of the Dragon trip.

Great journey you had. I ma really happy that you enjoyed it. Next time you pass by Trieste, and I guess you did, as you went from Italy to Slovenia, give me a PM, I can suggest you many beautiful places where to go, eat and sleep.

Thanks, it looks very neat and steady indeed. Might consider this instead of BMW's one.

I hope you kidding me
In Sweden we have 110 km/h speedlimit on the highway which is controlled by the traffic police.
Yesterday, the first october, the government had decided to raise the fee for speeding. If you drive 145 km/h on the highway it will now cost 4000 kr or 430 euro. It cost before 2000 kr or about 230 euro.

Secondly, the photo was taken when we were speeding in Germany. I hope you like this picture better then

Cheers

It's when you drive over with 40km/h
Is there any rule like that in Denmark?
And how much does speeding cost?
