250,000 KM MILEAGE BADGE

Can anyone tell me or show a picture of where and how to put a high mileage badge on a 107 grill? Thanks!

Henceforth, the weather conditions featured in this picture shall be known as the "Nobby Exception" for WUTD driving.

Click here because the picture is too big for the thread.

I guess I'll have to get me one of those. 156,190 as of last fill up, so I qualified over 1300 kilometers ago.

But how would I attach it?

Yeah, well, we've always known Nobby is an exception!


Last night the temp dropped from the 70s to the 50s in a couple hours and on my way home, while on some back roads, I experimented by raising and lowering my windows. I don't think, with the top down, that windows up really makes any difference in temp from the wind or amount of wind. I don't have a windscreen, but it seems to me most of the wind does not come in from the side. Has anyone else noticed this?

(And note that I was testing this out -- on a back road where I was alone, so windows were only up for experimental purposes!)

Talk to me once you have a windscreen. WUWUTD driving (Windows Up, Windscreen Up, Top Down) driving comes very close to WUTU driving in terms of air flow.

I bet you could fashion a sunscreen from a small rectangle of German canvas and attach it along the top of the windshield, stretch it out to the windows and tie it off to the wind screen.


Waitaminute!





...and Jim, I hope you got the info you needed.
