Default Speedometer Picture

Sat. was such a nice sunny day that I took a cruise. I really wanted a picture of off the end of my 140 mph speedo, but the road was too narrow with curves to be looking away and fumbling with my camera.

Even though I had such a nice time driving 150 miles or so. I stopped off at someones house for an hour and when I came out some POS had stolen my passenger side TTop.

This also shows the beauty of 700R4 lockup transmissions. I'm not even doing half of my 7500 rpm at @104 mph

I have never had anything stolen or vandalized on that car in nearly 24 years. The biggest problem is finding a matching dark blue head liner and finding someone to color match my custom paint job.

Bet it took no time at ALL for you to hit that centarian mark either, George.

Sucks about the t-top. I've never had my car vandalized either(knock on wood). I hope you can get a decent match job done. I know how hard it'll be...

WTF would someone steal something like that? What a *****.

Steve I was just out driving so it was slowing down to 100 when I snapped the picture. I was already starting to turn left. So anyway once I got into 4th gear. I put the lockup switch on and was having a good time flooring up past the 140 mph mark and slowing down to about 100 for the posted 50 mph turns. Pretty curvy road.

Two lane highway posted at 65 mph. Lots of visibility and really no other cars.

I thought somebody was screwing with me that knows me and they popped it off. If that thing came loose and blew off you would notice! Your looking at blue sky and it's reallt windy when you take one off
