just got pulled on the M11 by marked police cops
I was doing well in excess of the speed limit
Got away with a verbal warning, and some advice to chop the S4 in for a Fiesta
time to spend some time beating my 40.9MPG achievement in the S4

Bastard! Still feel rather hard done by for getting a ticket doing less than 85 on the M1 around 10pm at night last year.

< 85mph?! That is unlucky. Was it raining?

Nope. Was late on a Monday or Tuesday night, south of Coalville and Loughborough but before Leicester forest where it opens out to four lanes and I always knock the cruise down for the junctions and services etc. I seem to recall the traffic was so light I'd gone about five miles from the Coalville junction and only had to 'resume' the cruise once (to slow for a car in front). Nevermind. Tend to stick the cruise on at an indicated 80 nowdays, as Dave notes the fuel economy rockets up.
