What'd I miss, what'd I miss?
Sorry for being late, too busy with the ladies I guess ...
CONGRATULATIONS! To you and Mrs Willy of course, I hope you two will be happy for a multiple of the initially planned engagement period!
Oh for the train geeks :icon_cheesygrin::
World speed record for a train on rails is the French TGV with 574,8 km/h on April 3rd, 2007. AND IF there were not so many bloody strikes over here those things would actually be on time too. Unlike Changsha and GZ, the train stations for TGV are mostly downtown, so it beats flying by a milestone. Paris - Marseille in 3.5 hours, you can't do it with a plane between check-in, queuing, flying, waiting for luggage + transfer on both sides. The Chinese have the highest average production speed record (as in usual service with passengers)
Pic of the record, notice the dust in the back, allergies anyone? :icon_cheesygrin: No passenger cars either ...
