Speedo went over 190mph on the way back from Sainsburys this morning, is mine the fastest Monaro in the country?

What happened, did it flick over to KPH or have a funny five?

lets just just say when I came to a standstill it still read 130mph - after recycling the ignition it seems to have sorted itself

Get it sorted by your dealer as it is a known issue. They replaced my whole display when it happened to me.

nothing to hide, its a momentary glitch on a monumentally good car.

will give the dealer a call on Monday to get it sorted, have no concern as its under warranty

Not sure, in truth dont really want to sell it but wife is pushing for more cash in handbag each month and our Merc has dropped in value like Mondeo's used to.

I think it might be a case of sell it, take Merc from wife and replace with banger.

That will leave her wealthy for a few months then I can buy a cheap Elise next spring

True, what most dont realise is that the silver ones are rarest as per the original Raleigh Grifter.

Its not actually paint its pure silver leaf applied by faberge, thats why there were 20 black and 20 red and only 10 silver
