I've looked on t'internet and only found that statistic quoted in 1 single uk newspaper, the Daily MailOriginally posted by TimberWolf View PostI haven't been following it. Seems like a lot of fuss about an old bloke dressed in white. I did hear that the Pope mobile is cable of doing 160 mph though, which was vaguely amusing.
Also, the popemobile is a converted Mercedes Benz M Class SUV, all Mercedes are limited to 155mph, however Wikipedia states "The current Popemobile is based on a W163 ML430", this states however that 115mph is more likely the top speed and that's before it's been converted with that glass shed on the back.The proud owner of 125 Xeno Geek PointsComment

I heard it said on one of the topical comedy shows, I forget which one. I didn't believe it myself, but it was an amusing image. And often there is some half-truth behind satire.Originally posted by chef View PostI've looked on t'internet and only found that statistic quoted in 1 single uk newspaper, the Daily Mail

How times change - the 1982 one was a converted Rangie, still, given his background I suppose he would insist on something German.Originally posted by chef View PostI've looked on t'internet and only found that statistic quoted in 1 single uk newspaper, the Daily Mail
