It later came back to haunt me....

Learnt my lesson and was not arrested again until 1999.

How did it haunt you?? Was the 1999 arrest connected??

Andy Zarse · May 29, 2003, 04:21:24 PM

The 1999 (wrongful) arrest was a shameful episode which so nearly brought the good name of Team Zarse into serious disrepute. It involved many pints of Normandy cider, a long flagstaff, the Mayor of Alencons bedroom and a goat. Seriously!

It is not for posting on a family website. I expect the story will come out at the champagne bar though.

I have to hear that one.

You obviously were not going fast enough

I know from experience that the vans the police use don't do a 140mph. :o
But do they use helicopters? ???

No Heli copters , thas just not french .

You are only the second person who i have heard being nicked for speeding in france . One of my mates went too fast between toll booths on the new Le Mans to Alencon motorway and had an on the spot £80 fine . He paid it at the same time he paid the couple of quid toll !!

No way. They were far too busy beating f**k out of me in the cells with their trucheons to bother with the diplomatic niceties.

They did later give me a bit of paper that said "Your under arreste". I did not point out their spelling mistakes, it seemed churlish to.

Hey ZARCE , nothing too wrong with good old Police brutality >:(

Andy Zarse · August 06, 2003, 04:17:42 PM

No, but there again, I did ask for it. I seemed to vex them somewhat when they first started hitting me. I said they could hit me as much as they like but the would never, ever, stop the Brits getting pissed at Le Mans. And a right old pasting I got too.

But I was proved right about the getting pissed bit tho.

Robbo SPS · August 06, 2003, 04:22:17 PM

Get a bike , they cant catch you for toffee , even their bikes wont as they are limited to 100 hp and they wear cotton trousers and t shirts , ouch that will hurt when they come off .

DONT STOP , NEVER STOP........ unless you crash.... :'(

Andy Zarse · August 06, 2003, 04:30:35 PM

A bike would do no good as they got me when I was actually staggering into the hotel. I couldn't outrun the buggers on foot as I had smoked about 150 fags that day and was a bit short of breath. And I had drunk about twenty pints of strong tramps cider, so was a touch on the giddy side anyway.

Robbo SPS · August 06, 2003, 04:34:50 PM

NO COMMENT :o

Andy Zarse · August 06, 2003, 04:37:06 PM

BTW this was not really a motoring offence.

gibberish · August 11, 2003, 01:53:08 PM

If it had been a motoring offence with the goat, the flagpole, and the mayors bedroom, it would have been unique :D

Did the commer feature anywhere in this one?
