Since I put 45 profile on instead of 55 mine always seems to be about 2mph out. Should all change again when I stick the 18's on.

Mark, I think I read somewhere that that phenomena is something to do with GPS "lag"

PS
When I had my RA, I found it roughly 5% out overall

that must be some seriously long stretch of private road you have access to. The sort of private that does not have to comply with UKs speed restrictions......

Oh yes, I remember that one, leading to Turner Towers.

Last time you allowed me to fish your estate lake master Turner, I got set upon by your hounds.

Mark, do you have two houses


From the passenger seat i can only see the car speedo (and not the RA) and therefore Officer Dibble, I can confirm that Turner boy never goes over 70 on his "driveway"


all poachers should be shot on sight

speaking of the A24 on the run from Dorking to Bear Green are there any known traps down there?

No fixed traps but there is a 60 MPH limit.

Be careful on Sundays...the speed limit was reduced because the Boxhill bikers came south and there were some particularly nasty accidents there.

Beare Green to Capel....Wow !!

zero_to60,

I go down that route most w/es and have not seen any known traps that way. Sunday when all the bikers go out down Box Hill is nuts!

Would have thought that the police would have shown some presence there but they seem to turn a blind eye to it.

Anyone know otherwise?

cheers,
John
