Rollers
So on my way home from Quad Cities nuclear power plant last week, I come over a hill and a cop is coming up over the same hill on the opposite side and we were basically cresting it at the same time from different directions.
This is on a county road which I travel for about 15 miles from the highway to the plant.
I looked down, was going about 65 in a 55, hit the brakes....he turned his rollers on and the rest is history. He gave me a ticket for 69 in a 55....I did not think I was going that fast...but I don't think radar lies.

And the reason I was out there
Figure some of you guys might want to see this....
Going to be doing an overhaul of the 9,000 HP, 1800 RPM feed pump motor. 14 day turnaround next month.
Check it out, see the guy on the right side?
You can see about half the motor, it's electric,
most plants would have a steam turbine to drive the feed pump.

I am jealous; do you have a camera hooked up to your A8? :-)
Sorry to hear about the ticket.
On the serious side, do you know of anyone that has a video or automatic digital camera hooked up to an Audi A8 or any other auto?
If not, then who is going to be the first? It could come in handy some time.
