CeBIT and back ...

This weekend I went to CeBIT in Hannover ... 812km there and back with an average speed of 117kph (73mph) and a max of 217kph (135mph - 4mph off the max of the Mercedes C180 Kompressor!) ...

This is the way there:


This is the way back with a minor detour to drop off some things before dropping the car at the airport:


This is a speed track for the return ... can you spot where the Dutch/German border and the start of the famous Autobahn is ?

Birmingham Two ...

A route around Smethwick in the west and then to the airport in the east.

Birmingham One ...
