Advert on floor in Mall (I had seen it before I saw that)
I was wandering the streets of Frankfurt taking photos and all the normal stuff, I was heading to a mall called the Skyline Plaza Mall to look for some new shorts (didn’t get any there but got elsewhere) and I stumbled on this Audi A3 e-tron exhibition thing. The Audi A3 e-tron is their attempt at a hybrid, and a very nice car at that !! The guy asked if I wanted to drive one, I didn’t have my international drivers license (as didn’t need for my trip) so he was not sure if was gonna be possible, but I opted not to even ask when I saw the cars were left hand drive. He offered to take me on a drive to show me the car and features etc. that was SUPER COOL. We did a bit heading out to the motorway and then we went onto the Autobahn, you know what that means … no speed limit. He took the car up to 216km/h could have probably gone higher but some other person pulled out into the fast lane to pass another car, grrrr. WOW …. it was super cool. The car is super quiet and has instant power like you get with an electric engine. I’ll let any car buffs read about it online but will leave you with a selection of photos from the experience.
