Gordon did it to mine in BG two years ago.

Re: New vette website and poll ?

You guys realize that now I'm going to have to do it just to prove to the hubby that it can be done, right? Only problem is...the hoods too heavy for me to lift by myself :rolleyes:

Use a newly minted nickel, it has a better edge.:thumbsup:

I faced the test successfully a couple of years ago. It is a nice story.

I was driving in the south of France when a series of police bikers all the sudden appeared next to me and they requested me to stop the car. They quietly parked the (6) bikes behond my zr1, just asked me to open the hood.
The chief cop (who liked cars, he had a porsche pins on his shirt...) took a euro coin (not a nickel), asked me to keep the engine running, and put the coin on its edge, on the plenum/ the coin remained as such until he took it back; he looked at his mates, told them they did not know anything about sports cars, and said they would not be able to catch a car like that!
We then had a nice chat together, and he invited me to go full speed down the highway from Marseille to Nice, where they had a radar machine, and proposed to give me an official figure of how fast the car could go. Well I did not do the run, but it was nice to see nice cops!
:-D

Canadian nickel will not balance on my cars but the US nickel will balance on both.
