Looking for a specific photo...

[Rick Lee]

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 ??

[masraum]

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

[Rick Lee]

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

[greenmonster]

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.

cegerer,
That poor little kid gets around.
I work for a corporate flight department (mechanic) and this made it's round for:
"Take your kid to work day"

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

[Rick Lee]

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!

[Rick Lee]

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.)

[Rick Lee]

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.

[Don Wohlfarth]

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

[Jim Richards]

Not you too, Don. Oh the humanity!
