Hi there, you`ll see me at RendezvousII but it`s too hard to take my XLR over to the US (would be about 10 weeks for shipping there and back). I wished it would be easier.

But here`s two pictures of my "Deutschland XLR":flag





Let`s see you all in BG, I`ll be there together with Bob`s (standby on this forum)
XLR V and also my daughter will join this event with her GTO.

Hans:cheers

I bet you really get the looks over in Germany with your XLR. I would image that almost everyone over there has never heard of the car, since that is how is around here in the states. :crazy

DarkJedi, yes that`s right, on any gas station I get the look on the car from anybody who`s around there and some ask what automaker makes such a beautiful car.

Funny thing, when I drive slow down town or on traffic light you can see the people in the following car how they reck their neck to see what car it is on the letters on the trunk. Well, they think XLR - what`s that:rolleyes - they still don`t know:nodno

On the Autobahn they only see my tail lights for a short time:glol

how fast do you go there?! um...MPH please! :lol

XLR - 282 kph, that`s 175 mph
STS - 276 kph, that`s 171 mph

I`m very happy Cadillac didn`t speed limited the export models:thumbs so if traffic is not too heavy I`ll let them run and in the last two years I only got past from one car on the autobahn( C6 Vette)

Hans, have you got everything in order to come to the states? You know they have tightened up things. Maybe you come here often and know what to have. But I have heard its a pain now.

Galen, sure things got a little more complicated. My wife just went over to Ca. in June without any trouble and yes, I go at least once a year to the states - things tightened up but no pain.

If my car wouldn`t be for around 8 weeks on the water I would bring it to "Rendezvous II" but otherwise I get to drive Bob`s XLR V on the way to BG and back:thumbs while my daughter come along in her 06 GTO.

Hans,
I can see why you don't use ACC:) . At that speed, you already come up to the vehicle ahead of you before ACC can react :) :) Beside, ACC will disengage when speed is above 192 kph (120 mph).
See you in BG
