Needling

Well, I picked up my new, shiny, green car yesterday and I am indeed a happy bunny. I'm pleased to have power steering, electric windows and central locking which I've never had before (except on a hire car). I'm having to get used to looking below the speedo for the time instead of beside it - there's a rev counter on this one which is pretty bad at telling the time. Also the speedo goes up 140mph instead of 110mph (I think) on the old one, which means that the legal speed limits aren't as far around the dial as before. I'll have to watch out for this as I got used to where the needle sat for certain speeds - the old 30mph position is now 40mph - if that makes sense.

Also, the speedo and rev counter needles glow red when the lights are on, which I'm especially pleased about.
