Austria, 1981, 145 KPH, brand new orange Vanagon, euro-spec, insane driver,
lots of luggage, 7 scared passengers plus one delighted 13-year-old.

To this day I'm a believer in the Germanesque driving techniques.

The other day I hit either 130 or 140 KMPH (I can't remember which). That
translates to either 80 or 86 MPH.

Of course this was downhill with a substantial run up and probably a
tailwind. Still this is not too bad for a 21 year old Air Cooled... but just
wait until I do my dream 911 conversion.

Thanks,
Chris
