hi everyone

Decades long BMW owner and enthusiast. Currently have a twin turbo smile generator, deep sea blue w white leather, 115,000 miles and drive 80 miles one way to work and love every curve of the 20 miles of mountains to get to the Pennsylvania Autobon aka Turnpike which under the protection of my trusted ValentineOne detector I enjoy the occasional high speed run with a exotic supercar it the Bentley owner, & others who take advantage of the best maintained road in America for 44 miles then there is the Schuylkill “Expressway” which is the only way into Philadelphia which is 18 miles of parking lot at times but hey it’s a job. This car rewards every mile with fun and pride in my ride and an average of 27 mpg so yeah I DRIVE it year round and from a snails pace to the against the limiter. That change in your pocket is made where I work likely at the biggest and oldest Mint in the world. The US Mint in Philadelphia. Thanks for having me. Mike

Hi Mike @Mike Peckenschneider and welcome from me near Lincoln Uk. Love the idea of the Valentine, I guess they're slightly less than legal like over here? @FRANKIE is in your neck of the woods so fairly local. We knew someone from 24 years ago who worked at Fort Knox.
Enjoy the forum :thumbsup:

Tony.

ps. Heading your side of the pond for some Florida sun in a few short weeks, Can't wait.

Enjoy! Ft Knox is cool place. Appreciate the welcome. The ValentineOne is legal in PA and man does it work!!! Can’t tell you how well and how much it gives freedom

We can buy such things here in the UK Mike, but it's against the law to be caught using one! I cannot understand the logic really because eventually these things reduce speed at the places which are defined as dangerous:confused:

Virginia is like that. If they catch you they confiscate, and u pay fine in cash or stay at cop shop till you have someone pay your fines.

Again, @FRANKIE has a tale to tell about a road trip from CA. back to NJ. with a fellow member on here @miller1098 a couple of years ago, which involves a run in with the Police in TX.

Is so much here to see. Would love to run the Nurburgring, see some of the places there as I love architecture and history maybe when the bridge is done

Run that past me again Big Ears, if you would be so kind, as you have lost me .... :confused:
Such as Road Angel warn you of speed cameras (so called SAFETY cameras?) and so (if you have a brain?) you slow down at the area where the speed (SAFETY) camera is. I think even you can grasp that.
