500 miles now on the clock. Had the opportunity to drive on snow for half of the trip, and the car was great, considering my winter tyres aren't on the car yet.

I'm convinced the speedo isn't working properly though. The speedo says 90 yet it feels like I'm driving at 60!!



This 2nd pic shows where we're going. You can see the water at the top left of the pic - that was where we were going. The road was very steep down to the water - about half way down I stopped to try reversing but the car wasn't having it! I don't think I would have got back up the hill - not sure if I would have managed it with winters on or not. Luckily there was another way out along the side of the water

Yup thats a known problem with these cars. I get on the freeway here, accelerate to change a few lanes and the speedo says I'm doing 100mph.

Dunno what to tell you. It happens all the time.
