A recent Fifth Gear TV programme road tested the BMW 653D across Europe, in search of the cheapest diesel in Euroland. The presenter was hoping for the chance to see how this oil burning Beemer performed on the unrestricted autobahns in Germany but it would seem that the roads there are as clogged as the ones here. The Germans have a word for the spectacle of trucks driving side by side trying to overtake and causing long tail backs - "Elefantrennen" or "Elephant Race"
Sounds similiar to what happens on a lot of our roads....
Time for a new set of roadsigns maybe? Elefantrennen verboten....
