Nice!

Magic speed for me: my speedo once got stuck at 120km/h. It was funny to see my car standing in the garage at 120km/h.

Last year we had a commercial in German TV by "Walbusch", a German fashion brand, with the German actor Klaus J. Behrendt, driving a red Pagode with black HT, at the end of the scene. You can find the commercial on YouTube,
