imagine the look on the guys face when he came round the corner with his little yacht 
this little sucker, the Pelorus, belongs to 39 year old Roman Abramowich. he is in lübeck for the world championship. his chopper will fly him to all the games from here. the boat is the 5th biggest motoryacht in the world. this one is 115 m (377,3 ft) long. the guy owns also the 86 meter Ecstasea and the 108,30 meter Le Grand Bleu (the 6th biggest).
and did you know that 8 out of 10 of the biggest motor yachts come from germany?? at last something we still can do better…
i had the chance to test a 320 touring for a few days and did allmost 2000 k’s with it. most of it autobahn – but also city and little streets with a lot of corners.
i have to admid that this one is not to bad looking – guess there is no trunk to ruin for the designers at bmw.
now imagine you and someone else are driving and each of you have a beer – where can you put it? there is only ONE cup holder in the front and it is under the armrest! how stupid is that??
here it is not really good to see but there is a cup of coffee next to the ipod.
good thing is that it has an aux for the ipod so at last this is working fine!! the button you see at the left is for the computer – bmw calls it idrive – sort of driving you nuts if you are not willing to read the manual. the easy things are self explaning but for the rest… hmm why is this thing soooo big???
my car had only a 150 hp engine – that makes it not the fastest – 220 km/h was the best i could do (that is 138 mls/h) – so this one is not good for very fast long distance racing. also i felt much saver in an (now) 5 years old Mercedes 320 sl doing 260 as in the bmw doing 220.
the navigation system does work fine, it tells you if there is a traffic jam ahead and guides you round it. very well done. i like the feature that it increases your soundlevel the faster you go (and the louder it gets outside) only the girl in the navigation system did not speak louder??
nice cornering in the city and if you are not toooo fast – not a lot of room for the people in the back
overall – the car is not to bad – but yo should really give it a good test drive before you consider to get one. btw it is not easy on gas – took an average of 9 liter super per 100 k’s or something like 30 miles to the gallon.
i strolled a bit through the city and took a few pictures
nice city eh? he he it is not one – 3 pictures 3 different places!
but somehow they have so much in common if you look and walk some streets. the 1st is utrecht (dutchland) – somehow the same buildings and canals in the city. the 2nd is gedansk (poland) and the 3rd is lübeck (germanyland) – hmm the last weeks where nice cityhopping. btw. 2morrow i am off for 10 days to slovakia!
