I remember driving to Paris from Brussels and doing about 90 MPH on the highway and a TGV came blasting past me like I was standing still at roughly 180 MPH.....an impressive sight to see. We used to get up in the morning in Brussels and be in Paris for lunch when we rode the TGV. Smooth as silk ride.

That's only 160 miles or two hours by car.

The title of this post got me thinking of this instead. Perhaps I’m old. Lol
