Hello JCviggen, comments in blue

There's nothing cool or commendable about driving with your insurance effectively invalidated, grow up. :dung:
My insurance is valid and I don't need to grow up.

Even if some other moron drives into you, chances are very high you would be found liable anyway.
What if statement, not valid

It's all fun while you remain lucky, when it runs out for someone like you eventually it ruins lives.
What is someone like me, you don't even know me so your comment is highly offensive

The Swiss of all people have zero sense of humour about something like this, that alone would have been enough for me to do things properly.
You do what you want and I'll do what I want.

Covkiller - are the nav directions standard on the dash like that with the RSN-e? Looks cool.

Good to see an RS being used the way it should be.

As far as I am aware, the dash directions are, at least they were on both of my RS4's.

Both car and snow look awesome but that fill up would make you wince a bit! That's way more than the autoroute prices.

Set off from La Rosiere this morning at 6am and got back to Cov at 5.30pm 795 miles. Here's a video starting off in the wind and snow starting to fall. Apologies chaps for no video in the tunnels of the exhaust screaming as the wife was asleep.


I had a great run in the winter sunshine even through the two Police speed traps and about 15 speed cameras. I set my cruise control to 91mph on the clock = 141kph. The speed limit being 130kph on the motorway but the Police give you 10% tolerance. Slowed down to 130kph for the cameras using CamSam PLUS.

On the ferry with filter as he lighting on the train gives a terrible photo

Back home and ready for a thorough wash tomorrow after a good sleep tonight. I am absolutely knackered.

NB. CamSam PLUS is a big Euro zone speed camera detector app. It is absolutely fantastic and comes through as a call and hence over your music or radio. The girls voice is cool too. I used it in Germany and my trip to Croatia last year and it's saved my bacon dozens of times and has approx over 50k people on line as any time. It also works in the UK.
