Just for a long weekend. See you all next week. Pip-pip! -Paul > Just for a long weekend. See you all next week. > > Pip-pip! > > -Paul Welcome on the *good* side of the Channel ;-)  SignatureJ.C.

I got caught doing 169kmh by Jolly Jaques le Gendarme :-( Pictures on my web page to follow shortly. -Paul SignatureHttp://www.redmist.freeserve.co.uk > I got caught doing > 169kmh by Jolly Jaques le Gendarme :-( Ouch. Instead of ...? At least you'll "only" have a fine to pay (if you already didn't). If I'm caught, I'll be also losing points on my driving license (or my full driving license if caught more than 40 km/h above the limit). I should have done that before, but this is an annoucement to any Ferraristi (or sportscaristi of any brand) intending to drive in France these days: the climate is very much against speed on roads these days, some speedophobia is installing itself. So, many many speedtraps (including automatic ones) are being put in place, and even other drivers are giving strange looks to fast cars and fast drivers...

Don't tell me that you've never taken that 308 offroading. My Crew Chief had an exciting, off road excursion at the track just the other day. Of course, he blames the broken, left, front wheel, but them's just more excuses. C. > Excuses, excuses. Don't tell me that you've never taken that 308 > offroading. Only once. However on this occasion I was in my Alfa... ...if I'd been in the 308 the fine would have been a lot worse. Paul SignatureHttp://www.redmist.freeserve.co.uk |
