I was traveling in Germany the other day, being driven by a local colleague. he was driving a Ford of some kind (mid-sized wagon) with a turboDiesel and a 6 speed.
As we all know, there are sections of the Autobahn where there is essentially no speed limit. On some of those sections, we were going 200kph. I was scared shitless - the max speed limit for tractor-trailers is 80, which means were were overtaking them at a rate of at least 70mph.
How is it that the Europeans get these drivetrains and we don't?
