Tom, Are the new speedos labeled in km/h (mph) or just km/h only?

A lot of people still talk in terms of miles, as this is what is displayed on their car instruments, but this is no longer present on all cars shipped since the start of the year, so its influence will wane as time goes on. The use of kilometers in speech has been increasing in recent years increase. The publicity of the speed sign changeover has accelerated it further. --------------------------------------------------------- Tom Wade | EMail: tee dot wade at eurokom dot ie EuroKom | Tel: +353 (1) 296-9696 A2, Nutgrove Office Park | Fax: +353 (1) 296-9697 Rathfarnham | Disclaimer: This is not a disclaimer Dublin 14 | Tip: "Friends don't let friends do Unix !"
