The Autobahn

One last farewell and one last story involving our new friend Jake and his company, All Things Garmisch:  The Autobahn.

Not exactly sure how the subject came up – probably Jake and Justin were gabbing about things Justin wanted to see and do while in Germany.  Justin mentioned that he had ‘gone really fast’ with his Uncle Brian on a trip in England years ago (also in a BMW), and would love to go out on the German Autobahn, speed demon that he is…

Guess what – the Autobahn was very near and Jake was more than happy to oblige.

So, once again (for Justin) he found himself on a long stretch of road, no real speed limit, in a snazzy BMW and going way too fast.  We have proof.  See below.

I believe our top speed was actually around 230 kph, which equates to over 142.9 mph and the fastest we’ve ever been on land.  (My wonderful old 1964 Olds Dynamic 88, the first car I ever owned, would fly down the interstate.  Its speedometer pegged out at over 125 mph so I’ve never known how fast I was really going.)  Ummm, perhaps Justin and I have something in common?  Don’t tell him!

Much thanks to Jake for creating such a wonderful day for us, and with only thirty minutes prior notice.  At a very affordable rate for all the informed guidance and fun.  Justin and I both agree that Bavaria is a new favorite spot on the planet for us.

We’ll be back.
