I was there three months near the border close to Amsterdam and I found outside the city and outside of everyone heading home you pretty much average 125mph+ in any reasonable performance car. I was in an older 911 so I must have averaged 150 with it being a sports car. I would do a mild or two, slow down 125 to minimize the delta while passing, and then could quickly speed up again.

It might not be all the time but we never legally make it past 70mph despite wide open roads outside the city. Makes me sad.

Amsterdam is not close to any border. On the other hand, the Netherlands is very small, so in that sense you’re always close to a border :)

Since you want to be pedantic. Arrnhem is less than 1.5 hours to the border. This is pretty easy to look up before looking foolish.

You said Amsterdam, though. I know Arnhem, so I don’t have to look it up. Arnhem is less than 30 minutes from the border. Amsterdam is about 1.5 hours from the border, but doesn’t give any information about which part of the border, since it’s about as far to the west as you can be.

That being said, I meant it lightly, it wasn’t important for what you were saying.
