Talk to Larry (spare time toys). I sold him the one I had from a grey market car.


He may want to sell it.

Pete: I've got one and hate it for the same reasons here. I don't even look at the dam thing anymore. I took out a GPS and got the crusing speeds of 2nd, 3rd and 4th and now I drive it by the tach.

I've thought about getting one, but I've been driving with MPH speedo's for so long I don't even have to do a conversion.

Not high on my list.

50kph= 30mph, 60kph= 40mph, 80kph= 50mph, 90kph= 56mph, 100kph= 63mph

Not spot on...but close enough to stay out of trouble.

Anyone up for a group buy from Jeroen? I'd like to have one also because I always end up driving 90...

Depending on what happens when the guy with you know what at the unmentionable place comes up with gets back in town. I may use it just for grins.

I have one sitting on the shelf, its a 250kph unit from Jeroen.

I have been saving it but to the right person maybe I'll part with it.

Is it a 250 KPH silver button?

Posted by: Bleyseng Jun 30 2006, 11:24 PM

No, late style Jeroen wanted the silver button one for his project car.

Not really as I am at a huge 3 wedding in Leavenworth WA.

North Hollywood or Palo Alto Speedometer can convert and rebuild it with a calibration for the tire size...
