RCZ-R..... On Friday I drive to meet Danro for the Austria trip, I will be driving through Germany, can you recommend any good stretches of the autobahn which is still unlimited mph - sorry kmh !!
I'am heading out of Dunkirk through Belgium then Germany probably towards Stuttgart the home of the Porsche.
Cheers...

You have two paths to head towards south thru Germany. Either you go Dunkirk-Brussels-Liege-Aachen and join the A4 and then advance to the A61 towards south. Or you turn south at Liege and join the A60-A1-A62-A6 towards Stuttgart.
A4 and A61 are all the way speed limited to 120-130 kmh. Only small stretches are unlimited but they are like nothing compared to the limited zones.
The southern variant via A1 is way more picturesque and has less traffic (keep in mind the A61 is THE north-south route thru Germany) and there are more unlimited stretches. Sometimes you will hit bad surface but don't worry, this is how german roads are these days. The only great surface is to be found on the newer autobahns in the eastern part of Germany.
Then you get into the square area between Mannheim, Karlsruhe, Heilbronn and Stuttgart. One of the most crowded roads in Germany. And forget about speeding there, unless you drive at night.
You can take the A5 towards Karlsruhe and then the A8 towards Stuttgart. Very crowded at almost all daylight times. And limited too. Only a small stretch of the A5 is unlimited but you got to have a free autobahn first to do any speeding. Usually the friendly german drivers will hinder your journey you at about 100MPH. Just a typical behaviour of german drivers. Very selfish. The A8 towards Stuttgart is also almost entirely limited.
So what about the A6 to A81 route instead? Even worse with huge construction sites along the A6. Forget it. A81 is full too. No speeding at daytime possible.
EDIT: you can also take the A65 arriving from A6 or A61 towards Karlsruhe and Stuttgart. The A65 is a "small" autobahn but still 2-lanes of unlimited roads. Very good for speeding.
So where to step on it? When you get past Stuttgart on the A8 there will be few places to accelerate on unlimited roads. But be cautious cause the pavement on the A8 is just shit. Then you get to the A7 towards Austria (I assume). If no heavy traffic, which is unfortunately daily business there, and you get past those huge construction sites where they extend the autobahn from 2 to 3-lanes, you will have few miles to really step on it. I would say behind the town of Memmingen. Just few kilometers before you enter Austria and from there, take it easy as the Austrians do not like speeding at all.
Watch out in Germany for hidden speed cameras. Those mobile sites they put up. Also they measure distance between two cars. This they do on bridges crossing your lane. So watch out for tiny cameras on those bridges. And some white stripes across your lane which are the marking points for those cameras.
The best thing to do is to switch on the "blitzer.de" app on your smartphone. It is for free. You only need data connection working and GPS signal.
