Are looking at the photo (and the above post), I guess I got the guages mixed up.
I thought the tach was a speedometer that red-lined at 65 mph. It makes more sense now!

Too much chocolate over the holidays.
OT autobahn story. While visiting Germany on a family trip, my dad asked the hotel clerk how long it took to get to a certain town. The clerk's reply was two hours. Four and a half hours later our rental VW bus arrived at an average speed of 65 MPH. I wonder how fast he drove?
