I remember driving Punto with a x100 rev counter once and getting totally confused between it and the speedo. I am a bit simple though, to be fair.

CreepingJesus Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I miss the look of the Mondeo's dash at night - simple to work with, but just stylish enough. All Volvos great and small(er).Volvo V70 - just efficient Early Volvo FM - action shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 My older cars have cool Smith's clocks and soft (ie: rubbish) white lighting, but I ain't got no night timey photies of them at present. Here's the Mental Murena. Note bonkers kilometrage. PS: I am such a saddo that I sometimes go and sit in my heaps at night, as they look and (for some reason) smell groovy then.

Jozza Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Late to the thread as usual: Rover Group goodness: Solihull 'glow-worm' lighting: Notice how the Series II's dash lighting is much better than the 'modern' Ninety built 20 years later... This one was tricky to get: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Sadly the battery is flat on the GT6.... Granada looks like that when it wants to, which is quite often and totally random. Otherwise, it's a bit feeble, with the instruments buried down deep tunnels. And the smaller ones work like the lights, ie when they want and only then. I've run out of petrol a couple of times...

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I just assumed you had to buy a Charleston if you wanted a 2CV with a light up speedo Here's a shot of the Herald gauges I posted on Club Triumph a while ago. Again it's massively exaggerated, in real life they're of the glow worm variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willswitchengage Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I am quite disappointed with the wank fonts that modern manufacturers seem to be using here on the dials, they may as well be using comic sans. Also I find 20mph spacing looks a lot better than 10, less cluttered. I miss the BX and its tongue in cheek digital dash typeface, although the Subaru at least succeeds in looking mean and serious like all old Jap cars.

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Also I find 20mph spacing looks a lot better than 10, less cluttered.I hate 20mph spacing. The problem is crowded speedos going up to 150+ when 99.9% of them will never even get near a hundred. One of the modern Astons has a horribly designed speedo, the difference on it between 20 and 30 and 40 is the width of a human hair, which must make town driving a pain in such a powerful car. What I'd like to see is an analogue speedo which only goes up to 100, after which a digital one takes over. I like what VW do with their non linear speedos. It's in 10s up to 100, then 20s.
