I took several photos and also switched the odometer button between A & B but not at the same time. Got home and checked my camera photos and discovered that I could have had that mileage twice but had flipped the button at the very start and ended up 9 10ths of a mile off on the B side. At least the A side had it correct!!!!Limited Edition databases for 007 msg..#26 , PCR sticky, and Cashmere msg.#64

I finished it on our road, after getting up a little early to do the last 6 miles as I had a Dental appt at 10am. When I finally pulled over (no shoulder) had one vehicle that had to pass me. He even stopped and asked if I needed assistance. I smiled and said no, I was just getting a particular odometer reading and "I just made it". He smiled and continued on his route.

I got the inspiration from a facebook post on one of the car groups I'm on there. Don't quite remember which group it was but someone posted a pic of a similar feat with a different style of odometer. Posted was 123.4, then 56789.0 which could be done with the retros.Limited Edition databases for 007 msg..#26 , PCR sticky, and Cashmere msg.#64

Next quest is for the mathletes in the group. Not certain of the next 2 digits in this sequence, so that's up to you.
