I already briefly touched 250kmh (155mph) in Germany, but generally I drive pretty slow, and the national speed limit here in my country is 100kmh (60mph), so just using the cruise control and listening to music or podcasts, while being very comfortable

Hope you got my card before Christmas, I was a little late in sending it. Yours arrived the week before

That's the spirit And knowing that your car can pick up its skirts and lift off at a moment's notice, is the added bonus

It is indeed a good thing to have, coming from a very slow vehicle. Being able to pick up speed quickly and smoothly is a breeze haha
