So now its my turn again:

Correct, so most of the way I was able to get up to 50 mph which is the legal limit anyway when towing a trailer. However the first couple of miles in Germany went uphill. I could only make that in third gear, barely touching 30 mph. With all the other Germans rushing by at high speed that was a bit scary. I don't think I would try that again with this car.
