Rick, allow me to verify functionality first... who knows, maybe it's not running on all 6, might be a lemon car for all you know

I guess its driving Fluffer Stile.

Ok, stop, I am now picturing you shifting gears with your mouth...:D:D:D

no wonder he never get's any speeding tickets...

YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! too funny.

I can't believe you didn't get tazed!

Well i definitely wouldn't live there. I do +40kmh over the speed limit as a matter of course.

Sounds worse than it is actually, most camera's are fixed and programmed into the GPS, and there aren't too many locations for mobile radars. (at least not on highways, those are fairly visible)
In towns and villages we keep speeding to a minimum. (I do anyway)

When the cop is an old beer drinking buddy from the past, ya get a few breaks, like staying out of the cuffs. I live in Mayberry

word, chance of getting caught is very low... unless you are a complete tool who doesn't pay attention... I've been cruising at 160 for more then a year, and only now got my ticket...

The worst speed control is when they work with averages, like in UK or NL.
you pass a sensor array, then 5 miles down the road another one... distance is known, so is the time, that's yer speed... you can't slow down for the camera and speed up again... doesn't work...

The only way i managed to defeat it in Holland, is when there were 2 averages, on 2 different highways... I'de zoom through gate #1-1 , get off the high way, take a shortcut... get on the second highway , and zoom through gate #2-2... skipping 1-2 and 2-1 altogether...

Personally, i think those averages are dangerous... you got folks watching their speedometer so much that they don't pay attention to the road...

Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At last!!!!!! (Yeeeee haaaa, let the weekend mayhem begin!!!)


Best of mornings to you, guys!!

busy weekend ahead...QT with my 9 year old kid sister... do some copper pipe work for my new shower...

I looked up your town. You're right, you do live in sticksville. Population 555 in 2000. Nice. :)

I bet I have 500 people living on my block.

as a teenager i lived in Kemmel, also tiny town... couple a hills, one bakery, one butcher, 6-7 pubs... I worked as a bartender in one of those pubs.. .drove a Suzuki X 40 cc dirtbike, only legally allowed to go 40km... yet i over took the coops on more then one occasion doing 100 when their Lada couldn't keep up with me... They didn't mind, because they were headed for the same pub anyway to get some beer down. :D

Morning from the boonies.
Hey Dave You'll love this, My little town is nestled about 20 miles from the blueridge mountains, so it isn't a bad drive when ya need to "get away from it all". Mostly national forest up there. :)

And for those of Ya'll who don't work on weekends, welcome to Friday (Ya'll suck)

Morning Rick.

I'm sure I would. I prefer small town life. OK, I don't like stickers on my cars. The annual license tax sticker thing would annoy me. :)

Dude, the inspection sticker and county stickers on the windshield hide the V1 so well. :) They are verboten here in Va.

Other fun facts:

According to Google maps, I have three routes to Scottsville:

2,580 miles - 1 day, 14 hrs.
2,606 miles - 1 day, 14 hrs.
2,801 miles - 1 day, 18 hrs.

All three routes look like fun. If I take the long route, I can visit Gogar!

P.S. Pee Wee's Pit BBQ?

so Rick, what do you do that requires work on weekends?
