A good time was had by all.


A bit blurry but then so would you be at that speed. Obviously this is all super imposed stuff not real.


This one was on the long straight on the ''Ring''. What a place that is.

Very true it was legal ........ just dont want my dealer to see how well my car is being used, haha

The good thing is the car performed 100% all week. In temps up to 41 degrees it ran like a dream. Did manage to see the big 160mph come up at one point but my other half managed to photograph the rev counter and miss the speedo altogether.

You should be ashamed of yourself [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

It's not big and it's not clever, it's people like you who give Impreza drivers a bad name.

Sicey .....

Your damned right it was Gottards pass. What a great road that is. Did a few good roads including the one around monte blanc as well and the Mossel valley. I have to say though that the best driving roads out and about were def the ones in Germany. They were so smooth even the small twisty stuff through the black forest was brilliantly surfaced.

More pics to come when I have them developed. They were done on my normal camera.

This is a pretty normal day for us though I have to say... , however for you UK boys it is a real treat and normally you may only get to speeds like this if you either :

a. go on a track, or
b. do it illegally... (err "private road")

As Wurzel and cheeseboy say

Regularly cruise at 100-120mph on the Autobahns (where allowed), and occasionally touch 150 (GPS-measured) for a few seconds to remove Audis/Beemers/Mercs/Porsches/VW_TDis from my back bumper!

I love German Autobahns...
