If I had more time to come on I would have reached my 1000th post a lot sooner. I am getting there though...

Page flip bug is our friend. One of my friends will delete all his posts in this thread on his birthday and wants me to do the same.

Congrads, now the question is can you reach 2,000?

Edit: Cheater, you got a tip

Im no-where near considering my posting speed XD not posted hardly anything at any rate. Spend all my time on here in chat.

To be fair, it was work you chose to do.

Work I chose to do in a previous stage of my life when I had a lot more time on my hands.

The problem then becomes, once I start, I can't stop...

Sorry to say this, but with the upgrade to the new forum software, the page flip bug does not exist anymore

Although it will live on in our memories.

And in countless other threads, complaining about its existence.

Everyone between Hamish and me, fix your numbers.

So, apparently, I happened to drive 300.0 miles on Saturday. Significant to the 10ths on my odometer. Couldn't'a pulled that off if I tried, but there you go!

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

5265

Does 5254 have some kind of significance for Larks?

[Jelendria 3]

5266

Therefore, we shall test it in the name of science!

[Hamish 1,369]

5267.

Trust me, we thoroughly tested it in beta versions of ST7, its not there. And it doesn't make sense that it would be, the software used now is completely different, and much more stable and bug free.

My parents' car reached 70,000km recently. I took a picture (don't worry, I was parked safely).

[Frdm920 50]

5269

Mine's done nearly 180,000 kms. Then again it's 11-years-old and was mum's before it was mine

Yes, well... not having a 10ths place on your odometer makes that easier to do. I had only 0.1 miles (528 feet, or 161 m... at the speed I was traveling, about 6 seconds) within which I could take my picture, and there was no place to pull over where I was. So it was on the fly or nothing!

Fortunately, I have plenty of experience with using a camera while driving and can do it without taking my eyes off the road.

[astronelson 339]

I had noticed it was 69,998 when I left home and was 70,000 when I reached the train station, which was where I was dropping someone off. So I didn't need to take my phone out of my pocket, get the camera function, line it up, and take the photo before it changed, I had plenty of time.

Considering I'm still on my P plates (provisional licence - between a learner licence and an open licence) this is certainly for the best.

Astronelson: you'll have to be prepared to take a picture of the odo at the next big milestone: 80085. Yes, I am just a big child.

[Larks2242 251]

They have a button to switch to miles?

[Timmystwin 201]

In other news that probably only interests me, Battlefield 3 looks badass again. Theres even a bomb bot fail.

They forget to mention 64 player online is only for PC tho :\

[RipRap 4,400]

5275

In most cars they do, but on older cars they only have a reset button...

The Alpha test was intresting.

This one I was able to stop for because I planned for it and pulled into a residential neighborhood to hit it. And it was at night, so a picture on the fly wasn't going to happen.

Shame I missed 133.7, though...

I'm pretty sure that only cars manufactured for use in the US or the UK (and, in some cases, Canada) contain any mention of miles or miles per hour. There's no reason for it in a car that's never going to drive to a place where miles are used.

Well foreign cars are imported.

Ferrari isn't american, yet many have them.

There is a difference between "made in US" and "made for US". A Ferrari may be made in Italy, but the one you buy in the US would be made for US consumption and would be different from one made for European consumption. If you went to Italy and bought the same car, it would be in metric only. There are always variations between versions of a product sold in different countries. Regulations are different, language is different, consumer desires are different, etc.

Come on, you didn't seriously think that the whole rest of the world reads the little kph from the inside of their speedometer all the time, did you?

Look at this image of the dashboard of a European car sold in Europe (from Wikipedia):

Engine temperature in Centigrade, fuel capacity in liters, speed in kilometers per hour!

The tachometer isn't in Hertz (hmm...), although they are using a more metric notation of "1/min" instead of "RPM".
