Gosh, this is becoming like the Zabruder film when Kennedy was shot.

I think he had a legitimate photo going 140 mph. He had let off the gas which is why the MPG gauge is at 40 MPG. He was on a deserted highway.

Then he superimposed the view out the windshield from another shot where he wasn't going so fast.

Historians will be debating this one for years.

I have my doubts on the photo also, if he was really driving 140 on that photo he would have been on that silver car's a.. in no time...

I may not be as brave as Jimmy but while driving an S6 (Audi) at 150mph I tried to take a picture, I ended up taking it at a 100mph as I felt this was the highest safest speed to take it, and it was on an open road...

Also, even if I enjoy Jimmy's BMW nightmare section, and I like Jimmy's 540, he once attacked those upgrading to european lights, now he has them...

nothing personal against Jimmy, just some thoughts
