Who ever said I _always_ drive like a snail? I've done a lot of driving abroad. And whenever possible I max it. I love the German autobahn. But there it is legal to drive fast (very fast indeed). And in Brussels it is absolutely normal to drive twice the speed limit. Doing something else would be suicide. I adjust my driving to the local standard. > Just the other day I was driving a JLG Boom Lift the wrong way on a crowded > downtown one way street as fast as it could go, and no one blinked at me > including the cops.

I was told an anecdote by someone from 'Budget' that lots of Eurotouring Americans hire a fast car in Munich to experience the German autobahn and drive it to Flensburg. Some of them return the hired car after an hour leaving the car rental office with rather shacky legs... ;o) > xponent > VROOOOOOM VROOOOOOOM VROOOOOOM Maru > rob Sonja
