Glad you're driving it. There is no more enjoyment to be had than driving it.
Oh, and congratulations, it would be an honor to be caretaker of that piece of rolling art/history.

Hope you weren't too far away from a Petrol Station, as the fuel gauge was reading a tad low.

Bruce.

PS. Do that down here, and the authorities would book you for it. And they would have the evidence that you supplied them.

Same in Europe! People who put videos in YouTube showing excessive speed have sometimes bad surprises.

Understand the concern. There was actually a police officer one car behind me. The speeds you see are the every day norm for this road. I was cruising at 105 just before this just to keep up with traffic.

Jim, you must be in Florida. The speed limit is posted at 70 MPH, but the average is 85-90 or you get run over.

I wasn't talking about the speed you were travelling at, but the fact that you were recording the event whilst driving.

I too have travelled in Florida, and other parts at well over the posted speed limits. Gee, flew over Miami on the HOV lane at almost 90 MPH, keeping up with the traffic. Do that here and the vehicle would be clamped, and a long time on shanks' pony.

Bruce.

PS. I take my Odometer Rollover pictures pulled up on the side of the road.

Truth!

That is why I maintain my vehicles to the fullest. I NEED to be able to keep up, even with the right lane traffic.

This morning, I went to meet with a couple of lifelong friends an hour north of me in Daytona Beach. I never left the right lane with the cruise set at 80 mph in a 70 mph zone, the entire time. The left lane had to be doing 100 or better.

Bruce, we don't all live in Hitler governed states, but I often wonder if that may be better.

Add resetting your odometer back to zero to your rap sheet. I have a good lawyer now.
