Hot Rods HOW MANY OF YOU GUYS TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR SPEEDO?

I admit I'm a little goofy at times, but I started taking pictures of the Hot Rod Speedo right after I got it running, just for fun and documentation. That was about 13-14 years ago.

I can't seem to find the earlier pictures, but somewhere I have pictures at 32 miles, 3200 miles, 32,000 miles, 50,000 miles, 77,777.7 miles, and now 100,000 miles.

Here's the ones I took just recently at 100,000 miles...

^ I can speed it up with a selfie in my speedo.

 

Now we’re getting somewhere.

 

I admit that I did take a pic of my OT truck speedometer when it hit 300,000.
Sold it right before it got to 350,000.

 

Only if the photo looks like Ms. Nikki

There is no call for that.

 

should hold a newspaper along with dash pic to show date when you achieved these important numerical changes on odometer - oil pressure changes too

 

More like Lurch from the Adams Family. ... and no I do not have any pictures or own a speedo.

 

can we start a voltmeter thread?

 

100,000 miles is very impressive on a hot rod. I would be proud.

 

Amp gauge and the resultant inferno...

 

I'd have to look for the picture my wife took as the old rod turned 100k as we were on the way from Pueblo to Denver in 2010(?).

Good idea! Never thought of that.

 

Don’t forget the historical marker plaque at the spot of occurrence.

 

Several years ago, check out the white knuckles. HRP

 

It's a little hard to look at the speedo, find the historical marker and click a picture all at once on a fly-by, but I think I might be able to do it next time.

 

My 1941 De Soto

 

Isn’t that one of those early Canadian gauges showing kilometers?

 

Sometimes people ask me how fast it goes and my pat answer is:
I don't know, I get tunnel vision after about 100!

 

Nothing to show in my coupe. I rebuilt the T-10 and forgot to put the speedometer drive gear back on the output shaft.

 

Picture of it? I rarely even look at it...

 

No..... But mine does say my car will do 160 m.p.h.

 

I hate it when stuff like that happens. Nice dash board.

 

To answer the original Question: appears many do.

 

..........Is that the one with the combat boots and tube socks with red stripes?

 

I was telling a guy at the cruise-in the other night about this strange phenomenon, and he said he took pics of his at all 1's, 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, 6's, 7's and he now has 81,000 on it.
I can't top that one!

 

No....that’s my Sunday go to meeting outfit.

 

No sir.

This was on one of the early All Deuce Runs and I was the last car and as we made the short run up the interstate I got separated because of a accident at the stop light, I was hustling to get caught up, Brenda snapped the photo and I had no idea of how fast I was driving, I knew I was hauling arse but I had no idea I was going that fast.

When I saw the speedometer reading as I was down loading photo's I realize just how stupid it was. HRP
