The number of the beast. 100m later the engine locked solid from bore scoring and blew up.

.



Minus points for not doing this one at 11:11 am and waiting until this happened at 11°C
Such joy in zeroing the trip early enough
Why can't I control the weather?

.



OK order is restored with a cheeky 6th gear.
But imagine if the temp gauge wasn't restricted to 0.5° increments! I could have turned the engine off, waiting until evening, and snapped the shot at a falling 6.7° C.!

This thread does not paint me in a good light. Man I'm a geek.

Couple of years ago now but the timing with somewhere to pull over and take this couldn’t have been better. V70 D5.

Why? I’m not the one getting excited by this.

It will always be funny; the day it stops being funny, you might as well give up.

That's odd - the mileage reading is in miles but the digital speed is indicated on KM/H - I guess this could be a handy feature when driving overseas, and configurable?

That's standard on this model. The analogue dial is just in miles, but the digital readout shows km as it's a legal requirement in the UK for both to be available. (If it were just a digital display, having a function to switch the two would suffice, but you can't change an analogue dial so it display the metric digitally).

The mileage on my first car when I got rid of it...



Which I recreated a couple of months back on my current steed...



I do of course have all the 1's, 2's, 3's, etc, just not to hand.... I mean god, I'm not that sad....
