I did a seminar in Hamburg once and stayed overnight. The next day I
dropped by the office before leaving for Frankfurt and discovered an
emergency - a part was needed in Munich and air freight was out for some
reason. It wasn't my job, but the customer was 'down'. I had an Audi
100 auto non-turbo. I basically redlined it all the way - about six
hours? Then I took a _long_ break and drove back up to Frankfurt.
The I5 is built for it - Germans do it _ALL_ the time. At least, they
_did_, before the Greens and congestion took their toll.
