Question about mileage......
Discussion
Hi guys,
I read a thread somewhere here where alot of Chimmy owners said that their speedos read about 10% higher than the actual speed. Not sure if this is common or not, but anyway, heres my question........
If the speedo is showing 10% faster, doesn't that mean that the total mileage reads 10% more aswell??
So a car that says it's done 70000 miles has actually only done 63000 miles?!?
Does this also mean that services are been done every 5400 miles instead of 6000 too?
Maybe I'm way out on this, but please, feel free to debate away!!!

Cheers guys!
Just curious really!! I was on a night shift and slightly irrelevent thoughts pop into my head as a way of keeping myself awake (doesn't always work though!)
Definately not trying to skimp on service intervals though!!
Actually thinking of doing the next one 2000 miles early, as I've only just got the car (Maneks old one) and thought it could be worthwhile for a bit of peace of mind!
BTW, are any of you either around the Watford/Hemel area, or West Wales area (I spend a couple of weeks a month in both) as I'd like to meet a few owners, drink a beer maybe, swap stories, have some more beer, drool over more TVRs, etc etc
