No, a teacher-friend sent these to me. I don't think they are from his school either...

Thanks Paul! Of course I did

The drive was a part of the second ever Vancouver Euros meet. Most members drive BMWs, like here:


This guy in his F-150 came out of nowhere and decided to blow some doughnuts while we were staging for photo shoot, and I must say it was quite entertaining!


And one of us took this opportunity to photograph the rubber that he just laid


Anyhow, here's some more of the P-car. They haven't been prettified yet though:

Jim, I use that same data collector in my job. I am not a surveyor, but I do play one at work. And I slept in a Holiday Inn Express

I use a topcon transit instead of the nikon.

It appears from the reflection you are taking a picture of your P as you are driving it at 100+mph ?

there is no way in the universe that a charge would stick just from that pic, even if you included an admission. too many ways to get out of it.

"Uh......yes your honor...........I created that image in Photoshop. I would never do something as irresponsible as drive 130 mph on public roads while taking a picture of myself.". Case dismissed.

1 hand on the wheel, 1 on the camera button.
No other cars present, straight fwy, VI on patrol.

Car felt pretty solid at this speed, had a bad tire vibration at
100 or so

I promise never to do something so foolish ever again
