NC4x4 on the Autobahn

[EdJonesJeeper]

So I checked a box on my bucket list last week....

 

[EdJonesJeeper]

Closest to maximum KM/h wins a handshake....

 

[shawn]

I'm putting top speed at 45 kmh.

Based on the photos, it looks like you never got past 2nd gear...

Edit... just noticed that you're doing precisely 45 kmh in the dash photo.

 

[frankenyoter]

x2 on 45kmh in the pic, but where he wrote maximum kmh has me wondering. I'd like to think you got up to 120mph (otherwise you suck) which would be 193.121 kmh.

The photo looks a little sketchy, possible photo chopped. If you were really on the Autobahn where is the high speed, white knuckle video?

LOL looks like fun Josh.

This was my route. A total of three unlimited sections each way.

My mom took some more pics I'll post later. As far as white knuckle ones she refused to take her hands off the door handles and keep her eyes open and there is no way I was going to take a pic at maximum speed! But c'mon guys give me a little credit!

So maximum speed waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas??????

 

[McCracken]

180

 

[shawn]

227 kmh

 

[frankenyoter]

250 kmh is my final guess. That is all the credit I will give you without some cash.

I've been 255 on the Autobahn and that was back in 1986 in an '85 BMW 525. So I hope you beat that in the Porsche! I'll go with 285.

That's pretty quick! The longest unlimited section I had was maybe 4-5 miles long before it would be restricted again at 120 kmh.

Take note I had my Mother in the car with me who during the first unlimited section literally reached over to grab the wheel!!!!!!!!

5 out of 6 unlimited sections I ran 223 kmh = 138 mph,
but the max.........





The maximum was 243 kmh = 150.9mph

You got me beat mbalbritton by 8 mph!!!!!

 

[frankenyoter]

I'll take that handshake over a whenever you are ready!

well, I may have you beat on how fast we've been down the Autobahn... but you have me beat on how fast we've DRIVEN on the Autobahn. I was 12 y/o and a passenger. My Step Dad was driving.

I am SO jealous....I want to drive on the autobahn one day before I bite the dust. I cannot wait to go to germany...how long was your flight over there?

 

[bowtieman55]

Thanks for the pictures. Where were you during all this? I see signs in English and they drive on the right side of the road...sorry, I'm not too familiar with alot of European countries.

Check post 5 for my route. Most of my time was spent in Berlin.

Things I learned....

1. Hitler stole a SHiT ToN of art!

2. Berlin beer sucked, I should have gone to Munich
