Yep - its really not that difficult; just a matter of concentration on everything being back to front. In any case, with the amount of traffic over here all you need to do is follow the other cars to be in the right lane on the right side, turn the right way into the right side and so on (or left side I guess)

110 mph? Dear God, how did you handle that? My VW Passat is rated for top speed of 180 but the highest I've ever gone is 90 and I was scared to death the whole time. I drive in the slow lane always and much prefer 60. The car can do it, the driver can't! The ferry trip sounds great, I love ferries.

I have never heard of a Passat (at least not one that wasn't heavily modified) even coming close to 180, unless you mean KPH, which is just a little over 110MPH.

FTR, the limiting factor in how fast any given auto manufacturer is willing to "rate" a car (a misnomer, as no auto manufacturers "rate" their car for top speed) is the tires. If you want to know how fast your car is "rated" to go check the speed rating on the factory-recommended tires. Hint: It is a letter-code, in the printing, on the sidewall of your tire.
