Title: Old Road test Photos
Post by: halfcrazy on January 17, 2012, 10:03:37 am
Ok I stumbled onto some pics of my road test set up. To say the Wife was not impressed with her car when she got home may be an understatement  :o

If these are to big let me know I re sized them down a lot? I also selected inline expandable thumbnail but they appear to be full size?

About all I can say about that is "holy chicken sheite".

Sort of brings to mind a few lines from Vanishing Point, changed to reflect the situation:

Attention. Calling car 44.

Attention, car 44, do you read me?

Gimme that.

This is car 44 reading you loud and clear, over.

Where are you, car 44?

We're on 80, some ten miles from Argenta, over.

Oh, good. Stay with it. Watch for a Buick with a big propeller on it.

Last seen heading for Dunphy on US 40 at cruising speed.

We have reason to believe it's supercharged......

Well I was bored and it seemed like a real good idea. And hey just having the couple people stop us and ask "Is that powering the car?" was worth all the work ;D

Next time say 'powering the car' is old school as I'm driving down the road I got it 'grid tied' then make sure you take a pic of their faces.......
