Nice.

I notice the sticker saying "calibrated by" on your speedo.

Is that a new binnacle, or it because its Police spec?

I did have a glimpse of '123456' on Autobahn 4 earlier this year so there's that.

Thanks for asking Graham
Unfortunately not as yet! I've got a new (2nd hand) Air Quality Sensor to go in, as that is one of the faults but not had a chance as yet as been away. Hopefully get an opportunity next week at some point.

Police Spec. All speedos are got as close to exact as possible (obvs tire wear might change things by a small %). Nice to know it is what it says. I love going past those radar speed things that give you a reading as some are way out!
