Default Two Audi Le Mans on the highway!

This morning I was driving on the highway between Perpinyŕ and Montpellier (south of France) with my girlfriend on the passenger seat, when I saw something very low and wide in my rear mirror...but it was not a Ferrari, neither a Lamborghini or another supercar that I've seen before...and I asked my girlfriend to take the camera and be prepared to take photos.
When it passed by our side I realized that it was the Audi Le Mans :shock: (or it is a Nuvolari? I think it's a Le Mans... ). And suddenly another one appeared in my rear mirror!
I'm sorry but we couldn't take better pics. When they saw that we were taking pics just pushed the throttle and disappeared in a few seconds...

We could only take two "decent" pics:




Sorry but this is the only pic which we could take from the front of the car:

Nice sighting.. but I thought Europe all about the "twisty roads" That freeway looks flatter wider and straighter than what we have over here..

have you heard of the mighty AUTOBAHN? or Autodtrada del Sol in Italy?

Those are greater than most of the other Highways in the WORLD!!!!, and a twisty highway is the one from the south of France, near Monaco, that has the best scenery Ive seen in Europe....and I've seen some


Nice pictures dropot2

French highways (like this one) are the best in Europe -
The only problem is that they are not cheap at all... :roll:

French highways (like this one) are the best in Europe - and believe me... I've seen highways in many different countries so I know what I'm talking about!
Best ones are in Holland! We pay the most tax in all of Europe :x
