Looks like Speedy,but I've no idea where the two men come into it:maybe they're secret synonyms for parts of the word?

It's 'speedo' because 'dash' refers to 'dashboard' and 'speedo' only part of 'speedometer'

Thanks for this, all. I thought it was 'speedo' but couldn't resolve the logic. Your reasoning makes sense, BABOOshka - thanks a lot. (I presume Benny refers to the Benny Speed I found on YouTube?) Tim Moorey seems to have a very eclectic cultural awareness!
