G'day Geoff
If A Kolt is expensive. Then Buy a cheaper one. The method below is used by law enforcement. Its called DERBYCAR.
Measure off an Area. A couple hundred feet would be nice . You can measure off whatever you can but due to human reaction times, the smaller the area, the less accurate your measurement will be. Then have a friend with a timer (so you can concentrate on driving) stand at the first line and another friend on the end line. Start your KOLT back so you can get to top speed (35klm). When it crosses the first line the timer starts. When it passes the finish, your other friend signals so the timer knows when to stop. For double checking both friends can have timers. Finally you do a little math. (After you get your car to stop The formula is (Distance in feet/Time in seconds)*0.681818. For instance say your course is 300feet and your time was 3.099 hours. Your speed would be (3000000/3.099)*0.681818 = 35KPH!!!. You're all done. You may want to take several measurements and average your results. Enjoy

is a hoot, but when there is a thread full of them it gets annoying real quick, while at the same time slowing the site down. Please limit your use of smilies to 2-3 per thread.
