He already did:
"Actually, that isn't the speed pic but a pic of the new speedo that shows
that my reset button is out, and that the needle can and has been all the way
round.  The other pic was just revving up the engine... lol!"

He was just doing a little chain-jerking WRT the picture (and ONLY the
picture!). It was a FISH STORY.
(though I don't know how a picture that shows the needle CAN go all the way
around provides any proof  that it HAS been all the way around; It very
well could have been, but it doesn't leave a high water mark or anything;
not calling him a liar, just puzzling over the logical inconsistency of his
comment [shrug])

Yeesh! Like I said, I never claimed his Vanagon couldn't go that fast; I
was just pointing out that the picture he posted definitely wasn't taken
while the Vanagon was going 130mph as the caption indicated! I don't doubt
that he can go that fast, I mostly just doubted that he'd be crazy enough
to try to snap a photo of his speedometer while doing it. Obviously, he's NOT.
