Time to enjoy life at speed! Hit the A-8 and follow a nice TT out and down the Autobahn and move over to the far left and accelerate. Up to 220kph + in no time. Slight touch around 240kph and ease away from what traffic there is.....

Exit and hit the return route to the West. Get into a nice high speed conga line following a high powered Benz Avant and trailing me is a new, bright lime green metallic Cayenne. 120mph + back towards the West.

The neatest thing I experienced besides the great performance of the Z is following a student driver doing his high speed training in a nice Golf GTD with his instructor. 170kph training session! Not a bad way to learn one's driving.

I never had that when I got my license in Florida at age 16! I love this place. Today was a good day!
