V8 IPK question
Just saw this over on .org:
 I don't think the non V8 IPKs ever show this. Is it a digital speed readout or something? The font looks different also. Do the V8's have a slightly different IPK?

The speedo in the pic is showing over 87k. I wonder has this car by itself caused the polar icecaps to melt  . Not to mention the damage done to the owners wallet

If that pic is of "scarlet fevers" motor that is for sale. It was a mileage accumulation car from Longbridge that he bought from the factory after it closed.
It did 60K on mileage accumulation under my supervision. I think it had 77K or so on it when it was sold. |

Very novel the digital speedo
It takes the info from the K bus If you had a PDA and an I bus interface you could display all sorts of things on the move on it! The Ford engine ECU did not support providing MPG info so I guess they added to speedo reading to the obc as otherwise it would not have shown much. Scarlet has been trying to sell his for a long time now I miss mine but not the fuel costs |

These interfaces will not work on a PDA, will they?. I wasn't aware that PDAs had USB or serial ports. On a slightly different note, is it the IPK or car electronics generates the digital speedo readout - it would look nice on my 75 . I always thought all IPKs were essentially the same.

Brings to mind another high miler, a 75 V8 in white that SMC had at the end of 2005. Keith Adams did a write up on it but I can't find it on his site. Most assumed it was a Police demonstrator. Can you tell us more? Tom
