and i dotn think anyone with a standard revlimit can do much over 120 with a 1.6
Not to mention the clocks are not standard so are possibly out of calibration when the needles were removed and refitted. This happend to mine now its 10mph out.

where did you take that picture, it appears to be daylight so if you was on a motorway your crazy, unless you was on a track which is ok, steady handed aswell everytime i take a picture of my clock's and im doing past 100 its blurred.

Steady photo just needs lots of light and a short shutter. That is illuminated with a flash.
