Your are right actually, my mistake! It used to be legal to let people know that you are coming, and as you say a lot of people still do it. My sister lives in Luxemburg and she is on me everytime I'm there about that.

Well yes and no, typically it's also people from other countries who do that (mainly Italy since they all think they are Schumacher...
)
But another thing they typically do is leave there left indicator know that they are in passing mode!

Agreed, that's why all German manufacturers (except Porsche) limit there cars to 150, it was decided together with the government many years ago so they would still keep certain speed free zones.

Since mine isn't stock anymore I can't really give an accurate number since mine has already reached 178, but that's with 500whp, not the 369whp as it had stock!
I am going to do the Mile Marker Run again January 3rd, we'll see how it goes this time. Hoping for another 1-3mph but we will see!
Video will come
