    31miles/hour = 50 km/h, which is the speed limit in most European cities.

    Most older european cars have a mark on the speedometer where you are supposed to shift out of first gear. I've owned Fiats, BMWs, Volkswagens, etc. and all have those red lines at different places because of gearing, but all have corresponded to just below redline in first gear in that car.

    "Best (single engine) rate of climb airspeed"? ;)
    Oh wait -- that'd be a blue line.

    I read somewhere years ago that was the maximum speed...in reverse! Many older Italian cars have that mark.
