Hah, it had to be a Volvo.

Where did you get the mph/kph dial? BTW (I'm also in Bohemia with my 911S that i've owned for 27yrs. - 2nd owner). ;-)

Hi Mike
It is a US version of speedo.I like it better then the Km speedo;-)It has been in the car since i got it in 1996;-)with already many miles on it ...oh ya i payed $9K for the 911... ..;-)

you can always contact me on my email...proporsche@yahoo.com

Ivan

yes you can meet some "Fittipaldi" drivers on the autobahn when they see Porsche 911.....

Ivan

That doesn't answer Pete's question. Ivan, we all want to see a pic of the 5 with all the zeros lined up. ;-)

i have to plan that..plus this kinda mizery outside, i ain`t driving in that;-))rain, snow and windy crap.....plus i have to set up the phone somehow to see the speedo while driving...
maybe i go Bayern in couple of weeks...has to be DE i can see almost the border from my garden...is it 17 miles to it from my house
Ivan

Can't blame you for not driving. Weather has been awful in France too. Getting a bit better now, still cold but dry.
Haven't driven mine since October because the French authorities took my license for 6 months. Getting it back sometime this week. Will be back on the road soon. Can't speed anymore in France.

I hear you..i got plenty of tickets in speed traps near Cannes;-) on A8 or near entering 83 area code where i used to live-Draguignan area..;-)..have them now as a souvenir;-)
Ivan

Yes but they never took your license, right? Only money. They couldn't take your license because it was a foreign license. I wish I had kept my British license and not convert it to French in the 80s when I got back to France.
Anyway, soon be back on road. No more No Wheels Blues.

funny that you mentioned ..i got 4 US, Czech and France plus old German too..but that one is from the 1980`s..i used them all ,kinda illegal but i do not care;-)
Yup plenty of money for the French roads they took from me;-)
More fun i had back in 2009 when i imported my 911 to France..i drove with California plates for 6 month-that is legal..the Police always let me go;-)

Interesting. I didn't know that US speedos had dual KM/MPH markings. I have a US '77 with only MPH markings. If you look at my past postings, you'll see some pics of the car that I posted. Based just outside of Prague. I also bought my Porsche in '96 in Louisville - but got a better deal than you. ;-) $4500 - but the fuel injection was in a box. ;-)) I'll send you a private email in case you want to get in touch.

no need private, i`m not afraid of IRS;-) just call me;-) 721 241 241
