Yes, not to rain on your parade, but I was thinking the same thing.

He does, I was just wondering if the TT red brakes are different than my S red brakes. Have NO intention of changeing, just curious. It seems like just getting an 'S' with the bigger motor and better brakes right off the bat may have been easier for him...

This is great, somebody from Zurich on the line. Those guys have a perfect situation to drive P-cars.

How far are you from the autobahn in Germany?

Heh, Switzerland iself is not perfect - completely speed-camera infected ... and the Swiss police is not known for taking speeding light-hearted

But then again, Autobahn is 40 mins away

That is what I mean. So within a 40 minutes reach (which is halfway thru town here), you can legally go at any speed you like. I know those southern autobahns. They are smooth and everybody is behaving good at speed between 120 and 155 MPH, so that you can pass at any speed you like. I know, don't do that during summer vacation time, when people are taking out their caravan (trailer).

Have fun!
