Thanks for the tips. Aaron, that"s a great idea about the window edging for the trim. In fact, I had seen some lacewood veneer and thought it looked pretty close. I"ll do some experimenting - it"s a good winter project. I was also trying without success to upload an rare inage - A lamborghini in the snow! We drove about 200 miles yesterday, never missed a beat, but there"s snow up here. I"m hoping they are using salt no sand...Have a nice Thanksgiving. No, not the swim suit...I drove my Espada to New England for Thanksgiving and had to park it overnight outdoors with temps in the 20"s.The next day the car started and ran fine. However, the speedo needle wouldn"t go above 60km/hr and was vibrating. The odometer was working. After about 15 minutes the speedo and odometer both stopped working. They are still dead, after driving back and with warmer weather.I installed a new speedo drive and cable in July, so this sounds like it might be the guage itself. Any suggestions before I remove it and send it to Palo Alto Speedometer?Peter
