We disagree again, it`s not an argument, but just some more information to
allow someone to make a more informed decision. Yes, I will always look
poorly on people that won`t accept their reasonability for the decision they
make. If they were making good buying decisions everything is fine, if it
turns out bad, it isn`t their fault. That`s what I`m talking about, an adult
has to accept both the good and bad decision he makes. Not revel in the good
ones and blame someone for the bad ones.

So, the answer to my question was "no, there is not a way to tell if the
odometer has surpassed its mechanical limit." hee hee
Seriously, thanks for the responses and the additional information.

OEQF has some "interesting features". I have the newest version and it
interferes with spell checking and does some odd things with cursor
placement. Are you (or anyone else) experiencing similar problems?

Title: THE MINI-BALLER LAND ROVER COMETH!!
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2009 01:03:07 +0000
Author: SyNaMATIQ
 TWO DOOR LANDROVER FOR THE MINI-BALLERS Land Rover has today confirmed what we’ve long expected – that the popular LRX Concept from the 2008 edition of the Detroit Auto Show is headed for production. The British-born automaker doesn’t actually say the new ‘ute will be called the LRX when it hits the market in 2011, but it definitely will be wearing the Range Rover moniker and will therefore likely be marketed as a premium vehicle.
No details are given about the coupelike SUV’s powertrain, but Land Rover does say the new vehicle “will be the smallest, lightest and most efficient vehicle the company has ever produced.” Previous reports have suggested the production LRX will share underpinnings with the LR2 (a.k.a. the Freelander) and will be offered with an optional all-wheel drive hybrid powertrain that may use an electric motor to power the rear wheels and a transverse engine underhood driving the front wheels.
Judging from the lone rendering released with this announcement, the basic shape from the LRX Concept should survive mostly intact, perhaps gaining a slightly more pronounced front fascia to go along with the production-necessary external door handles. Expect more details to filter out at the beginning of 2010, but in the meantime, click past the break for the press release.
