[DMCForum] Re: Caravans

["dmcgman" <DmcGman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well it was not my caravan nor was it a mid atlantic caravan, nor 
was I in charge of the traveling speed.  I was just riding along 
with the other 7 to 9 cars that decided to drive down together, and 
yes I think I had to step on it a few times to catch up with some of 
the cars.  Of course my speedo only goes to 85mph so I will have to 
take your word for it that the caravan broke 3 digits. :-)
