My vote is for Nadine also.
Second place is Steve Segal. Very cool angle
Honorable Mention is RoyV10

Tough call without seeing them all together- perhaps
the purpose of this thread.

Hope you don't mind Dave, I played with your Avatar to "set" it to my own personal top speed so far...


You must be registered for see images


Don't worry, I won't use it as my Avatar...but it is a great one!

Actually, my friend and I found one of those unmanned police radar / speed display units while out one fine California afternoon. It was in a straight stretch of road which was marked as 35 mph. We experimented (in the name of science, mind you) to see how it reacted to different speeds. We found that the numbers turned red at 47 MPH, and above 98 MPH the display just read "98" and blinked on and off. I was hoping for "TILT" or "Err" or something more original, but there you have it.

Nadine should consider trying to sell that photo. Like to DC for one. It would make a superb poster, calender, whatever.

I know I would like a hi res one for my own personal drooling....

I too vote for Nadine. I would really like to see a larger version of that picture. Come on Nadine. Lets have it. I think you posted it a long time ago but I wouldn't even attempt to find it.

Wow...I'm speechless...I really don't know what to say, other than thanks for the flattering comments about my smoking beloved GTS, and I'm really glad you all like it, it was fun doing it! Makes smokin' those brand new Pilot Sports ($'s...) worth while now, if others get enjoyment from it too.

Thanks go to Neil UK for getting the computer posting sorted of it. There are many more pics, might take a few days, but I'll get more posted up here for you.

Wear your tires with pride!

I vote for Nadine too.

Dave 96,

I'm glad I'm not the only one who looks at those radars and starts to tremble with the desire to post triple digits.

Nadine is a runaway #1. I'd pay to have that shot! Nadine, were you actually doing a burnout or is it all graphic effects?

We really need a top five; I might even throw my hat into that ring.

Worthy of honorable mention, my brother from the other side of PA "tomatper" who causes me to ponder every time I see one of his posts where exactly in Pittsburgh was that shot taken? ;}

Dave's is cool too!

I thought Jon B's old one was pretty good too.

I think it might be time to update mine.

Hey ACR Joe!

What's new?

Boy that Sebring Parade Lap sure was some rhubarb!

Did you hear that I bot Wayne Skiles' Bad Viper? and it's now living in Nevada? Now I have an eastcoast and a westcoast car.

Yeah, that's my car on the beach of the Manongahela River!

(If you fall for that one, I have some swamp... I mean, realestate I'd like to sell you!)

Are you getting to spend some time in that nice new ACR of yours?

BTW, I've got to ditch my generic internet "formula" userid (tom @ [last syllable]) for a real name - this will take some thought.

Maybe we can get one of the site computer experts to post them all on one page?

I guess there is a problem I did not forsee....

People are saying so-and-so's the best but ..... you can't see that Avatar unless that person posts!

However, it would be fair to say Nadine has crushed the field!

So the Top 3,5,10 is a very good idea!

NOTE: So far I have gotten NO comments about my avatar - I mean like I live near Pittsburgh PA.

On behalf of ***, here's the original again. For the avatar we cropped one photographer, then smoked out the other. A blue frame was then added using photopaint to try and hide the clouds. This pic has been resized slightly, for easier viewing. I can email the full version to anyone else who wants it. We are trying to get hold of the original, as this came off pistonheads.com mainly a TVR site. Of course being patriotic, Nadine gets my vote

Although Nadine's is tops, Keith Verges from Dallas should definitely be a contender in the top two or three. BTW, My computer works again, but I can't get my Officejet G55 to respond. Can anyone help?
