Sorry to hear about that, hope you and your wife are ok. But i have to say, over here in Holland there is NO way that you'll ever get an escort for something like that. Most likely the police will enter the restaurant and settle it all and MAYBE, maybe you can issue some sort of legal thing against him, but you wouldn't get a lot out of it. Over here, the legal system is pretty f'ed up. You can do quite a lot before you end up or get a fine... but if you're going a couple of miles to fast on the highway, you'll get a fine for sure.

Therefore it's a good thing you have such a support from your police over there, it would NEVER have happened over here.

About the 110 thing... I don't know if you noticed, but around that speed the car is a bit unstable. When i hit 200km/h a while ago i noticed a lot of vibration caused by the air speed. Now, when i pushed the car to about 250 km/h (165mph) the vibration disappeared completly and when i hit the speed of about 270km/h (fastest i've ever gone in that car) the car was EXTREMLY smooth. Really, it was like riding an air ship, pretty loud, but extremly stable and very controlable.

I'm not advising you to travel at these speeds, but i can tell you a 951 is capable of doing it and it's actually pretty comfortable. Oh.. and coming back to the police thing, driving at 270km/h is completly legal over in germany, so that's nice too
