In Reply to: My theory on the Jimmy photo... posted by Oleaus on July 15, 2001 at 21:07:58:
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
in traffic. Up in Santa Barbara, a bunch of us were doing the bimmerfest rally (backwards actually) and going S on 101, we really got going fast. JIMMY's car sounds awesome when he passes you at high speed, kinda like a jet engine. I was going about 90 and he passed me like I was standing still.
