LOL Sorry, I had to do that knowing what Jim's background is.<br /><br />I would have loved to have taken our BMW out there and opened it up, but they put a governor on it and kept the speed down around 138mph. I know that because my son told me so when he did it. Of course it was years later when he told me.<br /><br />Keep having fun out there.Clark Ramblinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713435758075556066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639565805712793802.post-83754400996974481212014-06-09T17:16:34.865-06:002014-06-09T17:16:34.865-06:00I think Dave would have enjoyed this--even more if...I think Dave would have enjoyed this--even more if I wasn't a passenger.
