REDCHEQHEN Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 I remember seeing an NFC result not too long ago (within the last five years) and somebody from Scotland timed in 2 within seconds of each other I'm sure it was just over 800 miles (802?) Maybe 2nd day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
