Just moved to the south of france, the deal is that a traffic policeman was killed by a drunken speeding driver. Now they are really hot on speed and drink. The favorite is the mobile radar in plain unmarked cars. Be warned.

In order to beat us, first you would have to pass the 300 vehicles stuck behind us !!

A word to the wise - If anybody is on the overnight  Pompey/Le Havre ferry on the Wednesday night - don't let the green/white CF motorhome leave in front of you !!

Matt,
Haven't checked in for a couple of days......

Even I'm too sensible to be on the ale whilst on the boat over. Particularly in view of biking it down.
The boozing only starts once the motor is switched off for the last time on the Thursday lunchtime, in the safety of the campsite!
Lost too many friends over the years who believed that the laws of physics didn't apply to them once they'd had a couple of brewski's.
Safe journey to one and all.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.

I assume that's the road / tunnels that are featured in one of the car chases in the film Ronin.


Steve..........excellent film, thanks for the tape.  I watched the car chase very closely, and it looked like there was only one small section of the periferique in that sequence.  I go the feeling that they used several bits of raod from the same general area around the Seine, and put it all together.  Lovely to watch though. :D :D

Gib, on the DVD it has a 'making of' extra which details how they made and filmed the car chases.  I think an ex-F1 driver did some of the stunt driving.

Considering its a Lambo(I think) and its in Kilos I think Big H,s is more impressive(particularly as you can even see the veins sticking out inside the glove and if you get really close to the picture theres a funny smell not very nice might I say

Ian, that's what I thought at first, but if you look real close, the inner circle of figures are in much higher numbers, suggesting that the 200 is actually MPH.  F***ing awesome if true!
