Greetings from the land of (still) no speed limit...

Stefan · Nov 17, 2020

Been lurking around for a couple of days, registered today.

I'm from central Germany and currently drive a 2017 Power Wagon, aside from an Merc S63, SL55 and an electric VW Golf. I usually tow my Mastercraft with my Power Wagon or throw my rooftop tent on the back.
Ordered the TRX the beginning of October, when canadian orders started, but have yet to receive any confirmation. Vehicles like that usually find their way to Germany via canadian orders, as did my Power Wagon, mainly for exchange rate and metric version reasons. Don't really expect my TRX to arrive until Spring/Summer over here, my personal order Power Wagon took 5 months to arrive.

Yeah nothing much I can do about it, so why bother too much, also not willing to pay the market entry premiums which are to be expected in the beginning. Power Wagon is mine and runs great, so no urge there...

Welcome to the fold Stefan.

I was in Germany last year (2019) 8 times on business. On one of those trips I didn't pay attention to the speed limit signs and went from a no limit to a 170 km/h and then to 130 km/h without even slowing down. I was stopped by a nice policeman in a BMW 5 series that happily handed me a 480 euro fine for doing 220 in a 130 zone. Totally my fault for not paying attention but I swear the traffic didn't seem to go that much slower then me

If you come to Germany/Europe more often this should well be worth the investment:
it has never let me down in the last 5+ years, when I did not forget to turn it on

privately owned, community supported (77.000 online right now) app where the fixed cameras are in the free version and the premuim one time fee app pretty much has all cameras, lasers, light barrier cameras and everything people notice and report in the app. The only thing that it does not report are unmarked video chase cars.... obviously, but those are rather rare.
