Hi all,
Got int the company car today (a Holden Astra AH ) (yes I know) and was driving along being careful of my speed (school zones are back). What began to drive me crazy was the top speed on the speedo, wait for it 260 !!! Now it might be a fast car but 260. With such crazy numbers it makes it hard and annoying to read quickly your speed around the now common 40, 50 and 60 mark. With speed cameras pulling drivers at lower tolerances, wouldn't it be great if manufactures would be sensible speed settings on an analog display. If I'm 2 or 3 k's over the speed limit I want to be able to see if quick and easy. Not stop and read my speed with a microscope. (and don't' ask about the tacho, it goes up to 8,000 (must be a rotary engine) Uncle Ken
