Having a look at the photo, Sudszy would be fine with it, I mean he admitted to drive at 135, this speedo shows about 136.
I'm sure he still knows how manyextra centimetres it takes to stop from 136 compared to 100.

Could have fooled me Ben.

After surfing through, thought perhaps the thread was about candidates for Darwin awards, a collection of people taking photos of speedos while driving(or did they take them while the back wheels were jacked up?), some even going at stupid speeds to make increase their chances?

If checking your speedo takes you a full second Ben, imagine how long these Darwinites had their eyes of the road? probably they were texting with their other hand telling a mate how awesome they were as well?.

Sorry to resurrect this thread from the dead, but had to post this update.
I had the trip meter all set up so it would say 789, but I inadvertently reset it before going on a long trip so I could keep tabs on how far I had travelled , this was at the end of the journey.

Its funny you should say that as the police man on the radio today told me to "Keep your eyes on the speedo"

While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

it is.. it is. I am one of the three people who bought one. Although, to be fair I got a MASSIVE discount and am novating it.

And it's a build 3 with the sunroof, the massive stereo and the leather.

:( OK, it's not that impressive, but a 2.4L in a car the size of a Corolla, and the space of a station wagon will do me just fine until I can affor a track car
