Re: Autobahn thrill-ride!

[cmice@mke.ab.com (Christopher Ice)]

When I was in Germany a few years ago, we were on a bus on the Autobahn
heading for the Alps.  It had been a long ride, and most people were taking
a nap.

I heard this buzzing....high pitched, and getting louder.  In about 10
seconds, the buzz was distinctly coming from behind and outside.  I sat up
to see what it was.  At that very moment, my eyes briefly focused on a
911/930(?) whale-tail, turbo -- the blur was too bad to get the exact
color...kindof a royal blue with burgundy trim.
rrrrrRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOooooowwwwmmmm and it was GONE.  The cabin of the bus
still ringing from the "blast".  Most people on the bus were awake at this
point wondering what happened.

The few of us that saw it estimated that at our present speed of about
55-60MPH, the Porsche was moving in the 150+ MPH range.  Absolutely awe
inspiring.  I wished my description did the event justice.  A picture would
have been better, but I didn't have a) the time or b) the correct speed
film for something moving that fast.
