I want an odometer on mine now!!!!

Just noticed the odometer reading of 82445 on the last pic - the original reading was 80421 (minus 4.9 miles) back at 1st launch in November and, as it reads twice the speedo value, that means the craft has covered 1017 miles!

The speedo GPS electronics is calibrated to read exactly twice the actual speed - makes the dial sweep more practical (and I doubt the craft will be able to get to 140mph!).

PS everything on the display works exactly the same as as it would in the car (including the mile/tripometer) - apart from the outside temp, it definitely wasn't 50C 

Exactly 68 MPH?

You'll need to bring your own .  It's not always so good (even in the same hour!).  Obviously outings only take place when conditions are suitable - it's not much fun getting bounced around dodging the wind!

I could have outrun the car on the loch side road (in video) by going a little faster - cruised along at 35mph for a fair bit and the twisty road and the in-and-out bits clearly reduced the car speed significantly.
