Insane speed in german cars... slightly OT, had to share...

some of the focus/blurrieness issues  depend on the shutter speed of the =
camera being used too.  I have a picture taken at night of me and a buddy=
 in his A3 Golf, racing an A4 Golf on Interstate 25.  I even have a shot =
of the other car's driverside front wheel and it looks like it is standin=
g still....BTW Both cars were doing about 105mph.

Don't bet on it.  I've got a couple speedometer shots in my
16v that were pretty well focused at over 100 mph, taken on
different occasions.  (One was turning over 200k miles)
