Shayne AVERAGED 108 mph?!

["R. Shayne Pavlic'" <bcpi@arias.net>]

Where:  WA to CO.  LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS AND, well you get the idea, of
boaring straight roadway.  

Why:  Why not?  And it sure made the trip more interesting.

When:  Last summer, during DAYLIGHT hours.

How:  Very carefully.  I did have a codriver (one direction).

What model:  1972 280 SEL 4.5.  However I have done a "few" things to make
the car able to handle and be safer at this kind of speed (remember, the car
was considered to have a top speed of about 127).


I will admit, it is very fast driving.  However, I will NEVER do this with
anyone in the car unless we have planned to do it.  Also, I never do this in
or near any towns or cities.  Only in the middle of nowhere.  And, I ALWAYS
pass any other driver with caution.  Finally, I will only do this on
unidirectional roads.


Happy Speeding!
