List of all arguments against a general speed limit

As the discussion is currently ongoing in Germany, and I am a petrol head, I have decided to put down a list of all arguments against a general speed limit on German Autobahn. The official number of speed limited Autobahn is about 33% - realistically this is about 45% if you include temporary limits because of weather, road work, etc. - if you even include all regional roads, only 3% of all roads in Germany are unlimited. (source of numbers). Also, the German road traffic laws say that you have always drive in a way that is safe for everyone…

But I decided to continue and, as mentioned in my previous article, in English, because there are topics that would otherwise go round and round in my mind without a valve to let it out.

Tamiya Clod Buster overhaul

This blog post is an in-depth exploration of one of my earliest self-built RC Cars: The Tamiya Clod Buster. Prepare to be enthralled by the sheer power and innovation of this remarkable machine. Released on September 21, 1987, the Clod Buster quickly became a sensation in the world of remote-controlled vehicles. I vividly recall the momentous occasion when I acquired mine in mid-1992 from a distinguished store situated in my beloved hometown of Speyer, nestled in the southwest region of Germany.
