    Hi Steve
    Obviously you havent had the joys of a series speedo.They bounce like a set of 44DD's with no bra [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]
    In a series,if you are keeping up with the traffic,you are going too hard,with a line of traffic behind you,you are about right [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

    About +2.5% by km posts. Haven't checked it against the GPS.

    All within acceptable bounds.

    My speedo reads 110km/h when im really only doing 100, but thats ok cos i dont mind doing 100 anyway and it stops my passangers from complaining if they think im doin 110. it bounces at low speeds, never worried about it i have seen alot or cars do it.

    ever considered putting a mini body on a landy chassis?

    might not get it street registered....but it would still be worth it.

    hmmm.....a mini with 35' tyres [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

    Speeeeedooooos

    Disco does the same, out by 10% 60 on dial is 53, (if those roadside speed detectors are right)? But thats another argument. Wasn;t there a story a while back about a120Y doing 170k's uphill past a spedd camera?

    Careful - if you correct a 200,000+ kms LR back to 160,000 kms - you'll have to do the 160, 170, 180, 190 and 200,000 kms services and oil changes all over again !!
