    60 in a 50 zone?

    That speedo is reading 60, but if it is anything like those that Im know in the LR poducts that I know, the true speed is around 55.
    I have checked with a GPS, the overhead gantries and the roadside advisory trailers - all agree. My defender and all others, by comparison, read 10% over.

    If you have tyres smaller than those that I have, then yours would read even more in error.

    And the odometer reads 5% over, just to be different.

    No, they thought you were driving a Series Landy and thus incapable of exceeding the speed limit.

    I recall a Series I owner in Brissie being pulled up by cops for travelling too slowly on a highway (or motorway) a few years back.

    Talk about being out in force... I've never seen so many cop cars in one day. They were everywhere.

    Even saw one on the Ipswich - Boonah Rd just after I'd accelerated to overtake a slow car in front who kindly decided to accelerate as I started to pass him
    That section of Brisbane Rd is just starting to go uphill.
    Doesn't it **** you off when they start to accelerate after going slowly for K's when you try to pass.

But they looked at me and didn't even raise the speed gun to get a reading..........it must be that they recognised the LandRover and know that we are all law abiding citizens....yeh that must be it
    Naaah, it's the STEALTH shape ....doesn't register...

    Closer to 55 than 60 I reckon but that fact that they were looking straight at me and didn't even raise the gun.......or was it the wife yawning at the same time then bursting out in hysterical laughter that bruised the ego a little bit?
