        I sideways mounted my iphone to the top of the steering wheel using a piece of tape and L bracket. Once it hit 200k i clicked the snap button. It was quite easy to setup, and was actually surprised the photo came out...figured it would have been blurry beccause of the road bumps and vibrations.

          because the phone was attached to the car, the vibrations on the lense will match the cars vibrations - no blurr. In Texas, on I-10, that speed would be perfectly legal and probably too slow for the rest of the traffic.

          Did you realize that 120mph = 200Kph. A little faster and you would have 200 on both instruments!!! A little scarey and a pricey ticket...

    I am right behind you with 188K. Unfortunately, I have 5 cars to drive so it will take me a bit longer before I can put the 200K badge in my 1998 "R".

    PS. I called VCNA and they gave me a nice enameled badge, free.

      I was surprised the badges are in 150k mile increments now. They used to provide them for every 100k, now they have a bronze medal at 150,000, a silver medal at 300,000 and gold at 500,000.

      Just like the olympics....... :o)
