Looking for a specific photo...
 

I can't remember the title of the thread where I saw this, nor any useful key words that narrow it down. About a year or so ago on one of those "show me" threads, someone posted a photo of one of those radar speed display signs that the cops use to show you how fast you're going. I think it read "125 mph" or some wildly excessive speed like that. Anyone have that so I can copy it? Thanks.

Ya' mean this one ??

Hmm, I think there may be better quality versions of that floating around the net if you can find them

YES! That's the one. Is there a cleaner version? Which thread was that on?

I don't know what thread it was originally posted in. The above image is linked from my /forumpics directory on my personal website. I could have saved it from the original thread or from this website:

A google image search for 50mph.jpg (or 50mph) didn't turn up a better quality picture tho'.

This one might be a little better.

Hey Richard, your thread got MOVED. Is this the first time? You delinquent!

Hey Dan, whaddaya bet that shot above is from Jim Richards' car? Ha ha!

Anh, looks like you got a lot of miles on that tank of gas.

Maybe, if Lu's driving. :)

Hey, I just realized what the big deal is about getting MOVEd. I reloaded page one of the thread list and saw that this thread didn't update. That means your thread sinks into oblivion very quickly after it's MOVEd. Oh, the humanity!

Who cares? I got my photo. Let it die. Now I feel like taking a poll on abortion and gun control.

That photo with the 167 looks like a fake, to me. The reason I say so is that if you look in the one with the kid and the 99 in a 35 zone photo, you see that the standing radar machine has a two digit display. On the black and white 167 in a 50 one, the display is three digits, and it's off center, with a reflector on one side, but not the other -- which suggests some photoshopping to add the area with the "1".

I think the police would be crazy to use a standing display like that with a three-digit display. It's like double-dog daring every teenager in the county to check their car's top speed.

(I didn't move the thread, btw.)

I don't doubt that the triple digit display is doctored. But it looks really good. I want to use that as my photo on our company's employee directory.

I discovered a flaw in the speed traps. I went through one going approximately 75mph. The speed limit was 35. However it seemed to be set only to a maximum limit. It was blinking 50mph the entire time. Thats another reason why the 167 picture might be a fake.

ROFLMAO! If it was me I'd be bouncing off the rev limiter. :rolleyes:

C'mon guys, it can't be Jim driving. He'd be using his patented white knuckle death grip on the steering wheel. :eek:

Not you too, Don. Oh the humanity!
