Default Just thinking about driving fast...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/12452/4.2-130mph.jpg"></center><p>wish I could head to Vegas again soon...maybe next time in the S6, I'll hit 155...damn speed-limiters. Just saw some dude on the S4 board post 160, so I got to thinking about my lame-O 130 (actually it hit 131 on the speedo, and 133.1 on the GPS), but I apparently missed the max with the pic
Can't believe I allowed that dust to be there on the dash, arrrggghhhh!

Default Was that on the last Vegas trip (the one I was MODERATED for asking about?), and

you were snap-snapping away at 130+?

As they say over in the S4 group: Dude!

Default Oh yeah!!! I'm having some CRAPS withdrawal symptoms (no toilet humour please) right about now...

the AirForce has had us on a tight leash lately...maybe next month can go for another junket...wish the S6'd be here by then...probably hafta wait for the next run after that.

Yeah, this car is so steady at 130+, I could take those pics with my eyes closed and no hands on the wheel!!!

Default Great thing about Fresno (BESIDES #10 BULLDOGS)...

is that you peg the speedo on all the straight broad shouldered country roads around here. Downright boring with a 4.2 at 130mph. Just finished a trip from S.F. to Santa Cruz on Hwy 1--only two other cars going my way south of H. Moon. Mucho fun

Default Unfortunately, no high-res version of this, but the bridge is still posted if you copy and paste any

of these following (self-explanatory?) URL's:

Default All image compositing credit(s) belongs to my friend and PShop guy Carl.

For instance, I go and get the pictures of the car and bridge and he paints in the "anatomically correct" tire tracks and puts the car on the side of the hill.

I go and do a cheesy image drop of the moon-car and he puts the proper shadows in and steals an antenna from a Land Rover so that my GPS will still work so far from home.

Etc.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a6/msgs/86148.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a6/msgs/86148.phtml</a</li></ul>
