5er in France
Gotta tellya what I saw ---
Got back last night from a business trip to France, mostly southeast of
Paris. They have some truly interesting roads, not Autobahns, but nobody
and that means NOBODY drives the 110 to 130 kph limts.
Traveling along the A4 at 180 kph in a Rover 600 diesel, foot to the floor
and downhill, I look in the rearview mirror and see a rapidly, really
rapidly approaching black E39 5er. It screams by me and I look at the model
number - IT'S A FLIPPIN DIESEL ! ! ! ! doing 150 miles per hour...........
Next business trip, I'm renting a REAL car
