Thank you for your comments, but I think I need to clarify a few issues:

1) These are the instruments of a car. I am surprised that so many people thought I was both driving AND taking the shoot. Nope, I was the co-driver.

2) This shot was NOT made specifically for this challenge. We had to catch a flight, and we were 300km away from the airport 4 hours before departure, so we drove as fast as we could. Of course we couldn't drive like this the whole journey (we were at about 100-120km/h most of the time) BUT there was this straight segment of the road, slightly sloped down, about 10 km straight, with NO traffic and very good visibility. So we just wanted to see how fast can this car could go (Ford Focus 1.6).

Even dumber...taking a photo while going that fast! Although, I kinda like this.

I did 315 with my CBR1100XX but I wouldn't try to take a photograph while going that fast lol.

I think there is a Darwin story behind this one. 8.

The colours are good but the whole shot is a bit blurry - I can understand that if you were really moving at that speed :)

I like the concept very much. Don't know if there was a way to execute it better, though. But the blur helps enforce how stupid it probably is to go this fast.

I hope you weren't going that fast, AND taking the picture.

This photo is not just stupid its really stupid. Trying to take a photo and drive at over 200km is retarded.
