Even that's not allowed in the UK!

Anyway at +150MPH on Germany's finest Autobahns, the aerial doesn't slap on the roof. I know 'cos I've done it plenty of times. Also Si was booting it that time we went to Germany in convoy and his wasn't doing it either!

You have to remember that the speedo can read upto 10% high therefore it is possible to see an indicated 170mph at a true 155mph.

As far as i know there is a tolerence built into VWy's to read higher than actual?

Not that im sayin 172 is achievable
Most manufacturers speedos read high to save any issues with regards to speeding even although authorities allow 10% tolerance on it reading low for a prosecution.
