Posted: Wed May 20, 2009 10:39 pm Post subject: Neat Odometer Readings |
|
|
Well, I've seen various threads on this, but nothing devoted entirely to neat odometer readings. I pulled into a parking lot on my way home from work today and did a lap around it, so that I could take this photo. Sorry for the poor quality, but it was on my cell phone!
Any other neat odo readings out there?

A few weeks ago, I took a mental note when "54-46 was my number." Because of this topic, I wish I would have pulled over and taken a picture.

Me too. Not that exact number, but I just went past 4000 and it's something like 4026 right now.
Will keep an eye...and a camera out for when it hits 4444.4 _________________ Jeff • #2163

Other than North America and Japan, dates are usually expressed as (for example) 28 May 2009, and abbreviated 28.05.09. It's a more logical order... though the Japanese method of expressing it as 2009.05.28 makes the most sense, putting the most significant digits first (like with plain old numbers). _________________

Wow... I was playing the nerd card before, but a binary "answer to life, the universe and everything"... you win. You totally and completely win.
I missed that when I saw it. Bravo! You're my new geek hero.  _________________

My Vespa just hit 10k! Maybe if I stuck to one ride, my St Tropez would be there like Howardr!
This is a big deal as this is a resurrected P that hadn't been ridden in 15 years and had hardly anything done to it. The P is the Volvo 240 of the scooter world.
I'm gonna try to get 5446 on the StT.
