OT: My M5 makes a jump to hyperspace - PICTURE! - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

By accessing hidden menus, my R2 unit was able to activate the BMW Hyperdrive. Now my M5 can make .5 past light speed!

Here's a picture of us launching for the Kessel run.

But can you beat the record of 12 Parsecs?*

(warning for the scientifically literate: Star Wars used the wrong language, yes I know that)

Any chance you have that awesome pic available in 2560x1600 resolution for my 30" monitor?

Thanks!

Dude, you better brake for that corner....

Suggestion - apply a radial motion blue to your wheels....

He'll just have to trail brake...A LOT

Judging by the tackian particle emissions, I'd say you're low on dilithium crystals

I hear they have wicked crystal in the Delta Quadrant...or as a last resort in Amsterdam

Thanks!

he he, I was thinking the same thing!

Thanks!

I did not "photoshop" the image in any way (other than resize), because I wanted it to be an elegant picture for a more civilized age.

The effect comes from 25sec exposure time. And for those of you worried about me making the turn at that speed - the car was actually moving BACKWARDS!!!! Yes, this was quite a complicated shot to make!

The original frame is 3456x2304, so high-res wallpapers can be made, PM me if interested.

Now, keep those funny sci-fi posts coming!

Have your R2 check your power couplings, it looks like you had some throttle variation in your particle emissions on that run.

I think your plasma manifold has a carbon build up. I would be getting checked under warranty. Better still get someone to replicate a new one and have engineering fit it urgently!
