172mph clio - Road Angel verified

[redmini]

Had 172 mph from the 172 earlier - at least according to my Road Angel! I was absolutely scared stiff and promptly slowed to 167!

How fast do your clios go on private roads? - NO DRIVING TALES PLEASE

For those of you that hadnt put 2+2 together the RA actually got my speed wrong (very very strange) I was actually travelling at 65mph.

Anyone else had these probs with the RA?

aye no bad, the green light is the change light (in 5th obviously) the orange light was because of the de cat.

hero, the petrol tank was at the same height as every other 172 and it was a one off chasing a scooby back from the scotland meet last year.

 

[Loki]

I think I got 288mph or something like that - mines an Origin B2, but they probably both use the same software to decode the satellite signals, so theyll have the same bugs I guess.
