Nice, I watched mine turn over 110,000 about a month ago. Nice to see all those numbers moving at once...

My parents live in FL, My sister in NC... I really hope you were not endangering their lives by driving down the road at 70mph with your hand(s) holding a camera and your eyes looking thru it at that 199,000 mile moment!

I'm envious. My 300CD only has 190k mi.!! and at the rate that I drive. It'll be another year or two before I see 200k mi.!

Oh well...

Congratulations! When people see the 250,000 km certificate on my wall they freak out and say "that's a lot of miles..."

I just say... "not really"

naw.. not to worry dude, i just picked up the camera with one hand and clicked thru the steering wheel..
which is no different or more 'endangering' than turning on the radio or opening the sunroof.
then pulled over a bit later as you could see the speedometer is at zero-
it is not recommended to look through the camera taking pics while driving, duh..
that's what photoshop is for

you want to talk about crazy ? this is in NC - i'm going 80 in the right lane which was average speed and then a house passes me doing at least 95mph.. i think your sister should watch out more for these than the rare W123 on the road down there.
