Per - Gee, you've really thrown a "monkey wrench" into what I was
after!  Your speedo shows "1000" under the "KmPH"???  Let's see, that
should mean 1.0 revolution per 1.0m traveled.  Circumference of the tire
would have to be 1.0m, which would mean a tire diameter of  318mm or
12.5"???  That's about the size of the tires on my riding lawn-mower!

Have to admit that I loaned my Bentley, a month ago, to an '86 Vanagon
auto load of hippies who broke down in my little country town, on their
way to Atlanta for a "festival" and then on to Arizona for another
festival and haven't gotten it back yet.  I do remember, though, that it
claimed the number indicated the number of revolutions per mile the
speedo turns.

ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE NOTICED THE NUMBER???
