Post by WayneXG95 »

I was driving when they change from mph to kph
So I know that 35 mph is 60kph
What is 60mph 80mph 100 mph and 110 mph
I know i can by a speedo sticker on ebay
Just curious?

Cheers

50MPH = 80kph
62.5MPH = 100kph
100MPH = 160kph

thats all you need to know for an EK
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Want a bet!
Alfords Point Bridge
Heading your way from Sutherland
Hit the corner at about 60 and floor it
Probably better with a strong tail wind.
And early on a sunday morning.
Ok so you might get to 90mph
That was the best I could get.. :lol:

Wayne do youself a favour and check the speedo for accuracy with a Navman or similar, cops don't believe the "Speedo must be out" line, or the "my old car doesn't even go that fast".

This is fact, I've tried using both these lines and still got fined :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
