I'd confirm we were doing good speeds, partly through planning to save a day on
the return and partly through unplanned stop(s) which led to having to do 700
miles in one day.  I think there was a little doubt as to accuracy of the actual
number, particularly when we discovered the dial with the graduations was back
to front.  This only became noticeable at the 90 mph end as we ran out of
numbers for the markings (or vice versa).
I shan't forget the keep-up-with-John drive at speed in the dark doing a slalom
through the oil-cans and road works in Wyoming to keep ahead of a threatening
storm.  Luckily we didn't get stopped or they probably wouldn't let me back in
next time.

It seems a general truth that when I go to VW meetings I drive faster on the way
home, even without John or storms.  Maybe it's a case of 'less to lose' when
you've done the visit.
