Well, i'm more an Audi addict myself ( that's what i drive here ), so my original idea was to rent a Quattro BT :-)
As for the Autobahn rules, i don't really mind, since i intend to attend a VFP conference, and use the free time before or after the conference to check the Autobahn, and not the other way around <g> :-)

>There is no greater pleasure in driving IMHO than driving the autobahns in a German made BMW (Never got to drive a porsche on it)! However, to enjoy it you really need to drive a German manuafactured vehicle that is manufactured FOR Germany, not any other country (like BMWs manufactured for use in the U.S. do not count). However, keep in mind a few rules (unless they have changed since I drove on it - hopefully someone from Germany will update my comments below if they have changed):
>
>It is illegal to run out of gas on the autobahn.
>It is illegal to flash highbeams at you to indicate for you to move out of the way (but EVERYONE does it).
>Passing on the right is illegal.
>Stopping, parking, u-turns, and driving in reverse is illegal.
>During a traffic jam (this should be incorporated around the world) you have to leave the middle lane open - (everyone on the left moves as far to the left as possible and everyone on the right moves as far to the right as possible).
>All breakdowns must move to the shoulder and put up the warning triangle and phone authorities using the closes phone.
>There is a recommended speed limit (80 mph) in most places and if you have an accident and exceed the recommended speed limit you may have to pay for the damages incurred.

>>Well, i understand what you mean by tight schedule ( even if i am my own boss ), since i live in a tight schedule since i started building solutions in xBase :-)
>>I don't speak German neither, but i think most sessions will be in English, and besides, who cares, as long as i can get out of the pressure for a few days, meet nice VFPers and learn new stuff in the way...
>>Also, i plan on renting a really nice car and try German Autobahns, which is one of my dreams for a long while...

>>>Part of the envy is that I'm on a tight schedule and my boss wouldn't be prepared to let me have the time or pay for it. Besides - I don't speak German. :-)
