>A 125mph trip is very possible on parts of the Autobahn... though there are wider speed limits now and often you encounter temporary reductions for maintenance. Earlier this year I drove across Germany en route elsewhere: there were 130kph signs but still the big Mercs and Porsches howled past me.
Not to mention Audis and BMWs. Personally I have a BMW 840 CSI, with a top speed of 250km/h, roughly 155mph. I am rarely overtaken. :-)
