We do mpg and buy fuel in litres
We use imperial in so many measurements and buy it in metres.

Stuff kilometers and all that foriegn stuff.
If you're travelling on an english road with a 30 mph limit, you should have a device saying what speed you at IN miles per hour

I have a piece of paper stuck on the dash with 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 written on it and their km/h equivalent next to them....

I love kph Kev. You are doing 50, I'm doing 80! I wish we converted to kilometres too. There are more kilos but they go quicker than miles. Is that just me or does it feel you are making better distance on the road?

agreed...driving whilst sitting in the passenger seat at 100 plus is a great feeling.....makes me think I'm on holiday all the time.

its the future.

i also have my digital clock set to continental time....for extra ambiance.

You have a working clock. Now you're showing off!

That's great, just one question mines a 1990 & the legislation is for 1989, don't think it could of changed for 1990?

Ahhhh Pistonheads tell me it changed in 1995.

I'd have more faith in your alien abductees than Pistonheads.

Is everyone going to buy yellow headlamp tint today then?

I have actually been trying to get a decent mph speedo... but they're stupidly expensive (and I'll probably end up getting the wrong one so cable won't fit on )

I too have a piece of paper with mph and kmh conversions lol! Don't need it anymore though, it's drummed in

I bought an old road angel speed camera alert system. It's subscription has ran out so I don't get the latest speed camera positions but that's not the reason for it - it gives me a large mph reading with GPS accuracy.
It's hard wired in and comes on when the alternator red light goes off.

A lot cheaper than a replacement speedo - but admittedly not as good.

Ringo

A cheapo sat nav will fix it....and give you help when you are lost in france.

Or put some stickers on the actual speedo dial.

Not had any mention of my kph speedo in a test yet.

Id love a trip meter though!
