convoy of new Foresters

Driving east on 401 between Pickering and Ajax and saw convoy of five new Foresters on Mercedes chassis, these guys weren't wasting anytime either, as you can see from pic of speedo and they were pulling away from me,quickly!!!( for you southern guys, that's kilometers per hour not mph) speed limit is 100 here. Like I said they flew by me so they were going more than 116

That's a touch over 70 MPH, not real fast but faster than some I have passed.

Interstate speed here in Idaho, 70 for rigs over 26K cars and those under 26K 80 MPH I still see people getting pulled over for speeding......

Nice way to break in a new Merc diesel for some unsuspecting customer.
Probably crap in the crapper too.
