:beerchug: Where did that happen ? I was crusing with a couple of 911 RSR's from the Euro tunnel and went into a 110 to a 70 section about 30 miles from the Eurotunnel exit. I slowed and they didn't. 2 miles later at the first toll booth where about 50 gendarme who where pulling over lots of Brit fast cars ..I was :bigwave: on :)

Near Arnage. Gendarme in the middle of the road. All very dubious, and I didn't believe I was going anywhere like as fast as the 120k he stated.

I saw the van near the tunnel, though didn't see anyone pulled.

I'd guess many of the fines ended up being paid as it was easier than arguing ...

I asked some pointed questions, like can you prove it...the answers were vague at best. Once he'd written the ticket he then had to come back to the car to take the number plate......

Here's my Le Mans effort:

Huh, what happened there? You must have left before the race finished?! Hope everything's okay Smudger

RS4 looks great stickered up in the photo. Is that the back of Bazzas head?

Highest turn out since 1989 iirc 262,000 general entries sold!

Superb 1 - 2 for Audi. It's a 24 hour endurance race and they know it. Emotional race after we sadly lost a member of our family a fortnight ago, they worked for Audi for a few years before they retired
