      I've looked on t'internet and only found that statistic quoted in 1 single uk newspaper, the Daily Mail

      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.

            Don't worry; I had one of those last thursday and it passed quite uneventfully.

              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.

                    How times change - the 1982 one was a converted Rangie, still, given his background I suppose he would insist on something German.
