Perhaps Jaguar engineers put an inverter in the perceived speed
transmitters, cause when I'm driving the Jag at 80, it feels like 50, but
the constabulary continues to think it's 80. I know it's not my
perceptions which are at fault though, because they worked fine the other
day when I was driving our 67 Spitfire with an out of round wheel at a
blazing 35mph -- I thought I was going 70.
