what the...???? I hope that was not a mobile phone camera being used without a hands free kit;)

[Steve74]

With hands kit. That's why it's blurry!! ;)

[Heather]

so go on. Tell us more, im intrigued:approve:

I was just mucking about with the car and I know that key position 1 is the test phase. I held down the trip button for about 8 seconds and it gave me a test menu. One of them was the intrument cluster - hence 150mph in a car park while stationary!! Never thought I'd see those numbers ;)

Sniff sniff, i smell BS,;) considering all the warning lights are on i'd say you have entered the test mode :D
Pretty good though :cool:

Brian took a photo of :Ia certain speedo at just over 130MPH and in the photo you can also see the motorcyce in front (this was not a test mode trick)nor was it an 'S':I:I



I obviously do not condone speeding on the puplic hiways:clown:

Only ever seen those numbers on a speedo once and it was on my old honda fireblade. Ahh the stupidity of youth:I:D

When I was driving back from the Hadrian's Wall run I was very tempted to push the car as it just seems to want to settle a bit faster than is allowed. I wonder how long 130 would take to reach?

I think my only silly bike speeds were in central London last year when I had my two wheel transport! It's good fun trying to keep up with the couriers.:cool:

Hmmmm... don't think our S can manage 130mph. Too thirsty, has to stop for a drink before we get to such peaks of rapidity...
