Took the family for a drive in Pearl today. Over 3 hours driving around taking my time to get used to driving her. Now I have heard about the inaccuracy of the speedo and to be honest I didn't believe it would be as bad as people have said but it was. Let's just say I'll never get book for speeding with the speedo being out by 6 kmh when it reads 50 and at least 9 when it reads 100. At 109 kmh on the speedo you finally get to 100 kmh actual road speed. The speedo inaccuracy adds 10 minutes to a trip that normally takes me 45 minutes. To combat this I'm considering getting a GPS HUD because I can't see the speed readout on my dash cam in Pearl.
On a personal note it has been a long time since I have driven a car for more than an hour, or even up to an hour, and not ended the drive with excruciating back and leg pain being barely able to walk after driving. The only other car that I can drive for extended periods is an old VC Commodore, even the VS Commodore Pearl replaced gave me problems and don't get me started on the lack of comfort in the Getz and Troopcarrier.
In my excitement I forgot to take photos, I will get some soon.
