    Quand on m'évoque les autoroutes allemande, ça me rappelle toujours cette anecdote à propos de Thomas Bscher (un ancien banquier qui est devenu plus tard PDG de Bugatti) :

    The story goes that when Bugatti boss Thomas Bscher was racing one McLaren F1 at the weekend and commuting in another during the week, he would confuse the two.

    McLaren engineers, making regular check-ups on their customer's cars via telemetry, noted that on a daily basis, Bscher's car was closing on Vmax. A faulty read-out they assumed.

    Absolutely not, Bscher reassured them, his autobahn had a bend he liked to take at 200mph to wake himself up, the way some folks drink espressos.

    Pour info 200mph, c'est environ 320km/h.
