Okay peeps !!!..

[Hammy]

Sorry for the delay in posting recently.. Had a wipeout on the PC and had to reload XP and all the gubbins !!

Just had some fun on the way home from work this evening with a Ford Focus and we decided to boot it on the flat and see what gave !!

Well what gave was my bloody car going off the end of the speedo at 120mph and this focus still sat up my ARS? !!!

what gives peeps ? .. I really wasn't expecting the old girl to go all the way to the end but she went past the end stop and kept going !!.. Gawd knows what the speed was in the end, but when the focus came past me after we got held up in traffic he gave me a big thumbs up and a respectable smile...

Made my day I can tell ya in respect to cost differences in the two cars

So folks.. How come I have a car with what I believe to be original speedo that goes off the end and still pulling ?

Hints would be appreciated

Some 8V Mk2's like mine for example, have speedo's that go upto 140MPH, I don't know why VW made 2 different types of clocks but they did

[Dizzie]

mine has 140mph speedo in an 8v and I've had it reading 130mph and then it bounced off the limiter

Drove back from work last night at a constant 120mph 'indicated' at 5k RPM in the Audi and got overtaken as if stood still by a ferarri and something jap........I hit 150 to try and catch up...........and gave up
150......my God you don't half catch up stuff quick 90/100mph seem's really slow afterwards...........sorry, don't rise to it very often :-[

The 20V should do 157mph tops.......mine certainly got to 150 indicated and felt like it had a little more to offer.......but that is stupidely quick on the M3.........too many ruts and always the chance a deer or something might run out.........wipeout, I think I must be getting old

[Golfgal]

LOL..........you can get a nice run at 3am in the morning on the way back from work. I hadn't driven my motor for 2 weeks, been driving Hazels car........really refreshing getting back into the 20V
