Re: Gtech + speedometer error = ???

[Brett Dikeman <brett@pdikeman.ne.mediaone.net>]

All type44 speedos are overethusiastic, but the 200q20v's seem to be much 
better than the 5k's. My 5kCST read about 15% higher than actual speed, or
more; it fluctuated over the range of 0-60.  Half of me wonders if this is
why type44 owners all think their cars are so great....nah... :)

One thing I find particularly annoying is that the speedo is entirely
worthless under about 20mph.  I don't know if it is age, or what...
