    Yesterday it took 157mph.
    Itīs modified a little bit...
    Have anyone noticed that the mirrors makes this irritant noise, like whistle?
    Itīs always when i do over 90mph, it really kills the feeling of speeding!
    I think iīve to change org. mirrors to M3..?

    Fastest? I've had amazingly beaten-up low mileage S40 service loaners so that just reminded me.... S40-V40

    "There's a lot of debate on this subject - about what kind of car handles best. Some say a a front-engined car, some say a rear-engined car. I say a rented car. Nothing handles better than a rented car. You can go faster, turn corners sharper, and put the transmission into reverse while going forward at a higher rate of speed in a rented car than in any other kind." - P.J. O'Rourke

    I've had an indicated 168mph with my tuned S40 T4, probably more like a 'real' 150-155mph or so. Comfortable 'cruising' speed about 135mph.

    German autobahns are nice :)

    Bye, Arno.
