for those not in the know the ADAC are the german equivilant of our RAC/AA
OMFG talk about well equipped

just been watching a proggy on national geographic about the autobahns,
These guys have their fleet of vans etc like our recovery services but they
have a fleet of 30+ helicopters too, carry out full repairs at the roadside
like our boys but i've never seen an rac van with a welder in the back.

damn i want to move

Indeed they are very good. had to come out to my dad many a time in germany while in his truck, They dont take too long and get the job done. Feel sorry for the guy who had to come out and change a tyre in 30 degrees c heat. he was nearly dead by the time he had done that
