I have 2 Vanagons:
TD has power steering and a small steering wheel. This makes looking at the
speedo more difficult than on my
D, which has no power steering, but a large steering wheel. I can see the speedo
very well on this, but as I must always drive this vehicle flat out, it doesn't
really matter anyway.
