    Have you checked what your actual speed is when the clock says 100mph?

    Best way is to use your sat nav, think my car has to be going 105mph on the clock to have a 100mph gps speed.

    i think you and frankie will be very close or even beat you when he has put the 3in tb on in a weeks time then he should do the test again to show the difference.

    I have not been idle over the winter. I unlike frankie have a GPS based time for 60 - 100 - none of this shaky camera/ instrument binnacle shots. There is nothing in it.

    April fools day will be interesting.
