I had a 480SL when I lived in Germany. Ran about 145, cruised at about 125. Off ramps were an adventure until you got used to it. After an hour or so at 120-130, 70 seemed like you were parked. Had to double check the speedometer to make sure you didn't do an off ramp Rosen. The first time you pass a police car doing 100 mph is a memorable experience. what's really odd, is because of the discipline there, and everyone following the rules-I felt safer at 130 there than I do at 75 on I-95.
