It has been a long time since I've really posted on Rennlist since I moved to a new, ahem, "area" last month. Now that I have internet access I thought I'd share my personal celebration of finally being settled with a photo taken by my co-pilot today on my way home from work.

It is an aweful photo but I'm fairly certain the meaning should be clear.


























...and now I know.

Did you get air clearance before you took off! Doing that on a North America road would result in about 10 years of suspended license and a pack of new underwear.

I can see those white knuckles in the reflection off of the tach

I cant make out the numbers... 200MPH?

Gweedo

That should be 180mph.

InTheAir

I think it is 178mph. (edit - Gweedo, we posted at the same time....I'm not trying to be that critical of 2 mph. )

Wow!

I guess your commute doesn't take very long.

Is that an open sunroof in the background?

Adrienne

Ugh, you dog!! Darned Germans!! I'm jealous, really really jealous!!

No talkin' on the cell phone at that speed....

Im suprised that the camera phone captured what appears to be reflections of trees branches out your window. I would think everything would be a blur at that speed...

That is the ultimate Italian tune-up! I am thinking at that speed you are not drinking a beverage or calling someone to see what they doing.

cabrio993

Cool! I bet that should take care of those SAI passages...

You'll probably find that's just a bad ground or a sensor fault in the gearbox pick-up. Hopefully you won't have to replace the speedo (and document the odometer) to fix that "full scale deflection" problem.

Wow,

I did not know that a camera suffers from the tunnel effect at that speed as well.

Excellent job. I hope you can get out of 'there' at that speed when you are done.
