Gnarlie, You're way too close to being accurate at .95012. Vanagons are not supposed to be within tolerances, anyway. That being said, I am going to hook up my GPS and see just how accurate ole Bill Bones' speedometer is. I am running some new rubber, so I ought to check anyway. Got rid of the Firestone Indy 500 tires (a friend said it looked too much like a Camaro anyway) and installed a set of 205/75/15 Bridgestone Dueler HL. Maggie is running the Dueler AT on hers, so I had to be a little different. I'll report speedometer data shortly. And, since I am about to embark on a 2500 mile trip, I'll be reporting performance and mileage, etc., soon. Warren 88 Westy "Billy Bones" "The captain had risen earlier than usual and set out down the beach, his cutlass swinging under the broad skirts of the old blue coat, his brass telescope under his arm, his hat tilted back upon his head. I remember his breath hanging like smoke in his wake as he strode off, and the last sound I heard of him as he turned the big rock was a loud snort of indignation, as though his mind was still running upon Dr. Livesey." |
