Did it have any left Mr Cush?

i thinks you should have had a bit more of a go,
or was 80 all it could do :?:


as a matter of fact i think it did have another 5 or so in it.... it's just the red and blue flashing lights that kinda made me slow it down a bit :shock:

lucky he was busy giving a VN a ticket at the time....

sure turned his head tho..;)

I could almost hear him saying...

"Negative ghost-rider... the pattern is full" ;)

if i didn't have the single leaders, i'd almost be tempted to take it for a blat round mallala

To convert Kilometres to Miles just multiply the first number by 6 . Eg 60 KPH = 36 MPH , 80 KPH = 48 MPH , 90 KPH = 54 MPH , 110 KPH = 66 MPH ......etc etc

Well , if you have a calculator you can divide by 1.6 , its certainly more accurate as well but if you are just driving it gives a rough indication of your speed of your speed in MPH by multiplying by 0.6 ...eg 60 KPH x 0.6 = 36 MPH , however , to get an accurate figure you need to multiply by 0.62 (or divide by 1.6 as you say)which gives you the correct figure of 37.2 MPH

Well my method even though mine says km/h as well is 60mph = ~100kph, 40mph = ~60kph 80kmph = ~ 50mph and that is about all the speed limits you commonly need to know. Opps 50kph = ~ 30mph.
The speedo is probably not real accurate anyways :lol:
