how fast has anyone gone in all kinds

In my '92 SC300

I was clocked by Laser on the NYS Thruway (I-90) at 127mph by a NYS Trooper, who immediately had my car impounded... knowing I can go that fast was almost worth it...

I still had a lot of pedal space left too...

As he came up to my window he commented:

"I bet you didnt think I would catch up to you... "

My response... "If I didnt slow down and wait for you... you never would have..."

His Next response... "Please step out and to the rear of the vehicle, and place your hands behind your head sir..."

One suspended license, a ton of lawyer fees, higher insurance... and alot of waiting... and IT WAS STILL WORTH IT"

I also have a 93 SC400 but the fastest I have gone in that is 110mph... perhaps I have learned my lesson... or perhaps I have really good radar and knew there was a cop ahead...

Nice, I was going to ask you if you put the manual out there grnsc

I have tried to send a copy of this via email, and on various other filesharing sites, so this is what I will do, if anyone wants a digital copy of the Workshop Manual, we are going to have to do this the old fashioned way... Here is my address:

Raymond Wills

814 Avery Ave

Syracuse NY 13204

Send me a self addressed STAMPED envelope, AND a blank CD-R and I will burn a copy of it for you, I tried to send it thru send-file.com, and fileden.com and its too big, FileDen has a 50MB limit, and this monster is 74MBs when it is Zipped... Sorry Keano... if I paid and opened a send-file.com account I could send up to one GB, so if anyone would rather open one of those and give me the password we could do that, but understand that I have had a lot of SC owners asking for help with this so if one person gets it they all get it...

Otherwise just shoot me an email saying you will send the envelope and cd...

Sorry I couldnt help more folks

Just make sure there is sufficient postage on the return envelopes...

PLEASE
