[QUOTE="akeady, post: 8254063, member: 83175"]I had an "all the sixes" moment back in 2006, which I photographed the next morning. On 6th June 2006 - 06.06.06 as I was driving home from work, I noticed that the odometer had hit 66666 miles, exactly as the tripmeter hit 66.6 miles :D This was complete coincidence - I don't recall when I'd set the tripmeter, it had probably rolled over from when I measured some journey. Anyway, I didn't stop, but continued home and took a photo' the next morning, as it was too good not to record. Through the miracle of Google Photos, I still have it (I no longer have the car): [IMG]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/jOjtK_No3qxNQhPCkjVxptqbFfCsX6f_r-o7fESxR_6LekchBcFi0wQ2PF41NdZADFvvi2ZK3iDJ_ZkYeULnGF8PtJzd9-BttCy_lwaJCmx8S68K0I_28Pu9mF1RoUHhuxq3iyli_DhFsCkY_f3F8wzHV9grRxkUSKprmkAdEKtaQRXO9VqgfbdfUjx4R9yr4NHqxI8FqOXs6rZO-Jw2P3UigZ5mjzGPPZfHxuqRM5E2BxPrUNVgVTe-qqXt5kuZVhae4A9q2__M8eplcrgzpbWdh1SDrBPGNsV-WSCfXJ_N1GOvn07ZGzX5W5uEMQ88pU5AoFJgtM3yu_BmmmZKFMWahBbPeeWwzA1CHqX-sTWPiJ7sgrOB5REbn8Jhz6SFdQenLPQ80Gx4dl1ZAxLUj2PPcRBbSwoYi647BNmiBSgrItfR1iwWowa5NgGwhGgCs4dSv34xRHLuKqksTP0tYhNKC70UfwM390y-rmM38LCTD1mm1pZyk3dioXdHV32B2Es6iLUi7Ed3ZeSVohlsfWthBWwwZ8TwTPOGb_30vThfzxZj7Gzvg-gfqHIft6P1eH3UNUBCt1K9NTz5DSPNzpS1fzlXS82CHmVo_INkZzunXyjY-0plRQwSJT4aXBaX_C2N_r4Zqy2WIvcZPcm8YNRNkSK4FNwZQLLQnUnwphgHfnBq6gXrMfL9orTESDAOKD2FrL5D34zB4BCfzXZXrf47=w1031-h773-no?authuser=0[/IMG] Interestingly, the distance I'd travelled from the "all the sixes" moment to home was 0.6 miles, so the tripmeter was then at 67.2!
