Have you guys noticed?
« on: 10 October 2006, 19:43:51 »
Well guys just one of those thougths that can just pop into your head have you lot noticed that the
2.5/2.6 3.0/3.2 all have 160MPH on the clocks and mine and most of the x-police one's i have seen have 150MPH on the clock is this beacuse the police calibrate them and change them?

Nah.  It's just because they'll never acheive 160 with all the stuff they carry about. They still like to see the needle at the end of the dial though  ;D

It might well be 'calibrated', but if it only shows 150mph your needle should go off the clock.

I've had mine doing 156mph, that was a reading from GPS, but the clocks weren't that far out. She also had plenty left.

This was carried out on the German Autobahn, of course.  ;)
