That photo makes it look like the driver was taking a photo of the speedo while driving at 90mph, please tell us that wasn't the case......

If the driver had taken the picture, I can assure you it wouldn't be fuzzy!

Na, from the angle it has surely got to be a passenger taking the photo @90 whilst on some private road??
Nice to see the it's still performing well at 200,000 miles.

 Look at how much petrol he has got in! Surely he has lost about 3mph from his top end with all that weight on board! Rich bugger! Just serviced my 850 today and was cruising along my private test track at 85 mph today. 213.000miles and countin'!!!

Doing 90 at 3.5k rpm, sounds like you were cruising!

I'm lucky these days to get the rhd dials to be sad(/ \), normally i was happy with them being indifferent (- -),but never on the verge of happy (- /)! As long as the dial's aren't too happy (\ /), nothing worse than a full tank of gas and overheating. Rusty |
