Somebody was talkin about doing 100 miles an hour yesterday. Well lets see some pics people! This one was taken on u.s. rt.202 near westchester, PA. In my 65 pontiac bonneville lowrider. (This is the same stretch of 202 that jungle jim died on, Kinda erie!!!!) Lets see em gentelman!
Wow. Broadcasting 100 mph on a public road, that'll do a lot for the sport. Anyone got some drunk driving pics???
Sport? Which sport do you mean? I don't see much sport in going a 100 mph in a car with a 120 mph speedometer.
I know But ive been waiting cuz Im getting supremes soon so I think I ll wait till then. It shakes real bad at about 65.
dan.. I got a shot of 110 on my speedo in my old 46 ford.. but the car had a "streetrod" digital speedo... and top speed recall.. 202 is pretty smooth.. maybe know someone who can balance tires? I always liked rt1.. just before the pa/md state line..
That part of rt. 1 rocks I had my chopper wound out as far as it would go on there but it has no speedo, I figure it was goin fast though!!!!
Well hell if I could do "One Hundered Miles Per Hour" or a hunerd miles pur hour, in my 51 Chebby I surely would on a public road or any where for that matter. Fast is just damn fun
yeah, whats up with that. i'm usually steering with one hand and rubbin one out with the other at that speed
Cool!!! Old, ehhh?? Well, I maintain MY car is older than YOUR car. Of course, my pic is clear enough that you can see the odometer, and it's triple digits on BOTH sides of the comma. None of 'em ones, either. So, now, let's just let you roll up the miles on that Poncho, and when it hits 250K, on the original engine AND trans, take another pic with the needle on the FAR side of 100. You know, like I did. BTW, I did it again yesterday (no pics, sorry) but now it's got 300K on it.... Cosmo
Man, for the price of a Mercedes, you could buy like 10 cool cars and a reliable one. Let's see some pics of some pre-65 stuff going 100. Like they said, late model speed aint impressive, my girlfriend's Kia can hit triple-digits...
No pics but my old Ford has seen 138 on several ocassions. Flamedabone,that old Ford o' yours oughta see more than 108 this year,eh.You,you, huffer you!
Dude, like you missed a point here or something. A new Mercedes does NOT come with an odo reading of 250 thousand miles. A Kia might hit 100 miles per hour, but NOT while reading 200,000 miles traveled. At what point is a Mercedes not cool?? Cool is a manufacturer that can sell a car with a retail price over $450,000, and they have a waiting list. And both Daimler AND Benz have the pre-65 thing wrapped. Seems they both started producing cars before anyone else started producing cars. And, lastly, the request was to produce a pic of a car's speedo reading over 100 miles per hour. I am the only one to do that. Maybe you need to grab the camera and get in your girlfriend's Kia. Cosmo
Dude, like you missed the point. Your car has 300k on it. Great. Throw a party. Is it a rod or a kustom? I dont think anyone cares how fast you go in your Mercedes.
Isn't Cosmo a girls ragazine? I know its out of context but I bet you don't maintain your car. So which authorized service center in IL takes care of your mercedes big shot? Should I be impressed with the car or that you have a job that allows you to drop the $1000-$1500 a year on the manditory maintenance required to get it to 300k. Save the bullshit for someone else, I owned a 300TD, 420S and a few other overpriced sedans back when I was trying to be someone. Now that I'm not trying to impress anyone my daily is a 96 B-body that probably cost 1/10 of yours, I do all the maintenance and tops out at 140. If you can't fix it then it ain't nothing to brag about... because the only thing you are capable of is writing the check. s.
Mike, can't imagine how fast that Rambler would have gone with the key in the ignition...Jim Cosmo, have you ever posted anything rod related, all I ever see is Isuzu, Citrons, and now Mercedes. There must be a reason that you look at this board. lets see your rat rods with street sign floor boards
