Post by: Andy B on 02 February 2020, 20:13:41
They're playing with a stupidly fast McLaren that costs £2million ..... you'd think it would be able to display speed in mph as well as kph!  ::) ::)

I imagine it can. I suppose bigger numbers just seem more impressive.

See my arghh technology post. The car can display in fifteen different measures of speed including mph. Unfortunately even with the manual (. 43 page section just on setting speed display) no one on the Top Gear team or the Mclaren factory could change it from kph.

Did I imagine the wing mirror sorry rear view camera , didn't retract?
