Unless, the engine was warmed up and you were coasting (hence the oil pressure), and the tach doesn't work. Its what mine would look like in that situation.
Its probably the situation you mentioned. I got the same 'eeek' from people when I posted my 250k image, because I was coasting at the time I took the picture, on a warmed up engine. If my tach wasn't working, the image would have looked identical to his.

As a side note, I think its really respectable how we wear our mileage as a badge of honor, instead of a shameful secret (like most other makes of cars).

peace,
