Nice moment....but you wouldn't have been using a hand held phone to take a picture whilst driving at almost 70mph, would you??

Nah, it's left hand drive and the passenger took the picture!

 

[wemorgan]

Nice achievement.

2000rpm at 65mph. I somehow imagined the revs would be a bit lower, or is that the parallax?

Congratulations on the 200K mark

Haha nice try,it would say KPH, not MILES

 

[JonMad]

heh heh. Though for full geek effect you should have reset the trip meter at 199800 so it said '200.0'

That`s a really smart (ar**d ) question......plead the 5th Amendment!!

Happy Motoring

So would I, maybe it was in 4th gear, thats my RPM in 5th gear that that speed at the cog IIRC gives 30mph/1000rpm in my car. I'd have thought a 320cdi would have had taller gearing.

Reminds me of this that happened on the way to a MBClub Scottish meet back in May 09: (now on 213k and counting!!)

i think it was in 4th at the time, a bit early in the morning to remember, as been driving for 1 1/2 hours already.

 

[christopherwk]

Excellent! Looking forward to when that happens to mine! Not long to go!

I know the feeling. I'm on the road at 5:15 each Monday morning. I get to work, buy can't quite remember how

 

[davidjpowell]

Just wait. I used to commute from Bristol to Doncaster. Came out one very cold and wet Monday morning at 5.30 AM to find a flat tyre. Changing the wheel started my week nicely....

Funnily enough that was a W210 E320 cdi as the OP car.
