Something that doesnt happen everyday
Coming back from the Hanging Rock Cruise yesterday. As I stopped at the Kingsway off ramp , I looked down at the speedo to see it roll over to 00000.
All zeros. Never had a car, let alone driving it when that has happened.
Minor mile stone.
Didnt have a camera on me, so had to take this pic when I got home. 00012

Saw that twice on my old Beetle when it had a mph speedo, then once more when I put a metric one in. Pretty amazing feeling.
Haven't got there on the Kombi yet, but a few weeks ago the speedo would have read 66666.6 (but I missed seeing it)
