I got out my handy dandy circa 1976 calculator for that one. Speedo was reading 180 km/h.
Drop the top digit, and I was doing the speed limit.
Speed is great for getting places more quickly, but I'm reminded of a friend who was coming up from the U.S. in his M3 and got on the 401. He was late so started cruising at 200 and mmbmdfmmb km/h. About a half hour later he discovered he was going west when he wanted to be going east. Bummer. Or should that be Bimmer. We didn't wait for him.
