Krepoort is an unknown quantity at this point
Its probably just in your mind. Happens to me sometimes. I drive around feeling like I'm only going 80 but I'm actually going 100 (just like your example [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/IMG] ) then when I slow down to 80, it feels like I'm going like 40.
