Wow, was that intense...and of all things against a MB 320 turbo diesel station wagon and this sharp looking newer red Alfa Romero...all of us, back and forth, passing each other......that was intense!

I love my 135, but now it seems I need to upgrade my 135 speedo to a 1M speedo to see what this car is really capable of doing.

I thought we were limited to 155? Is this from the "M" package? anyone else run above 155?
I plan on doing the same thing! It's not that far from you either...I used to live just outside of Frankfurt in Langen. You must be...what 50-60km away?
I love Germany and might be there next year for the Auto show.

I contacted this guy and he emailed me this info, so here's the resource for you:

A 200 mph / 320 km/h speedometer.
The price for changing your speedometer is 599,-- Euro + UPS sending-costs.
Hereby i send you the design of this scale.
It is no problem to do it in an other design (for example without km/h).
Than you have tool-costs about 400,-- Euro extra.
We need 2 days for the work on your instrument with the design we have and 10 days for an other design, like you want.
