Speeding for a travel bug?


Recommended Posts

Haha, I understand 88 but 140?

 

140 KPH (metric units) is 88 MPH. I had to do the double-take myself. Metric system cars have the speedo with the Metric numbers over the ones we use.

I did a double-take, too. :D

 

Ahhh, thanks for the clarification.

Taking a photo of a travel bug while driving 140 kph?

 

Not the preferred technique, but it's one way to get the job done.

 

I won't be driving around Calgary any time soon, but please do give me a heads up the next time you're on US highways so I can make sure I'm elsewhere.

Hmm, after dark - EXIF says 9:30pm, and the flash fired.

 

How do you see stuff like deer at the side of the road at 140km/h, when you just set off a flash inside the car? Even without flash, that's way over-driving any normal headlights.

 

I'd like to believe you shot the picture in a garage, with the car on a hoist.

Well Viajero, I was heading up to The Chuck at the time... Near Olds...

 

ps, a phone flash aimed away from you at dusk (not really dark out yet) doesn't hurt the old night vision too much...

 

pps, did you manage to pull the geotag data off of there too?

If the wheels are turning at 35 mph or more without a load, the tires will explode.

 

I hope you aren't serious. I guess that's why all the cars in the movie chase scenes never leave the ground (remember Bullit). And what about the high-speed tire balance machine at the tire store?

 

I've had cars in my own garage with the rear tires raised and the speedo reading over 80.
