Flat out on the Autobahn? You are kidding right? How much do you expect out of a flat head four? Were you guys raiding the clinic and feeding it nitrous? Even then... Um-no. LOL ------------------------------------------- I was driving an officer to a remote field site and it's what he wanted. It towed a water tank trailer because the radiator leaked and a replacement wasn't available. I was told the Jeeps had some J C Whitney performance components because Europe was starved for parts to compensate for the demand and cost of Vietnam. At first we had some civilian vehicles such as a Chevy Suburban but going 100 MPH everywhere and flying off sports car corners used them up. F1 racing simulates German back roads, some built for foot traffic by Romans. The troops mostly stayed on base and had money to burn on vehicles, cameras, stereos (and drugs). I was a rare exception who could go out because I understood German and the 120 road signs we had to learn to get a drivers license. Glatteisgefahr?
