it's not this one. That car is one of the collection of my uncle who is completely nuts about microcars. He used such tiny mobiles to drive easier in Paris. The must: cross the Seine river in an amphibian car !!!

Compare to Mr Bean Reliant it's quite more stable: that's the difference between German engineers and Liverpoolian mechanicers !!!  Tongue

Gilles, just to help you.
1 ) Mr Bean, drove a mini.
2 ) Del Boy, drove a reliant.
3 ) It is Liverpudlian not Liverpoolian.
Take care.

in the french adaptation of Mister Bean his rolling nightmare is a Reliant, so I said Mr Bean's Reliant even if he isn't the real driver. By the way who already meet someone who lock his car door as M. Bean does it ??

Thanks Robbo

It can't have been me because i was using a Toyota 4x4.  Yeah Yeah Yeah i know, but it's grat for taking four blokes camping.  Anyway it was great fun overtaking porches etc at 97mph on the autoroute into Calais.  One of my mates swore he was going to end up in the lap of some crumpet in the ferrrari below (just to the right) of us, when going round a long left hand bend. Shocked

My arse was flowing well, but we were late for the ferry Grin

i had a Hilter wagen ( vw caravelle ) and it was really quick with two fat birds and 4 beer hungry boys . and flat out on back road 105mph flew past all the tits in gleaming sports cars that cant drive - Purple Lotus elise , Yellow Morgan V8 , and 4 MG F's all in a row .

My passengers ,who were very tired couldnt sleep , they felt a little anxious , No idea why !!

Oh and my virtually blind co driver was telling me if it was ok to pass people. Roll Eyes

I wasnt late , just a frustrated biker in a van.

One of my mates was making some decidedly rude noises at times.  He later told me it was because he had strange visions of a 4x4 lying on its side.  I had to agree with him, in hindsight.  Know anyone who got a speeding fine?  There seem to be quite a few reports of it happening.

I am back , but my user name robbo has died a death , had a fault and it went to computer log ons in the bin .

Anyway - Speed traps -

Back in 2002 i was racing my sisters TVR with my Bike, and at about 145 mph a Police man appears from the side of the road on the Mulsanne with his white glove in the air . We didnt stop but we werent going to , or is that couldnt . Who cares .   Shocked

This year they were stopping english people and breath testing them and otherwise warning people about doing silly things in cars -
Anyone else by the porsche curves when the shite merc van with sunbathers on top got pulled !!!!

We were staying at Beausejais by the Porche curves but didn't see the van you mention.  Sounds real amusing though Cheesy

Do you rekon the local police were chasing the Brits for DD all weekend?  I still can't figure out how to get to the bottom end of Mulsanne for the night racing without driving.............after beer Roll Eyes

Mulsanne , after beer ............   get a bike , blades or one of those go peds, the little frech kids ride like they are pissed anyway .

If not , try walking to the back of Beausejour camping site and through the buses at the back , it doesnt hurt . then keep walijg straight , through some trees and hey , you have youre own little viewing area , No marshalls ,police etc .

Then walk right for Arnage or left to mulsanne .

Or get the bus from EXPO to Mulsanne saves the hassle .

I assume you mean on the circuit down towards Arnarge.
Yes, we were there, a red Cadillac soft top and half a dozen cobras.
The police didn't appear to be too impressed with the people on the roof of the van - seeing as it was being driven along the road at the time.  Smiley
I later came a cropper with the police for pouring water down in front of my mates cobra rear tyres so that he could do a smokeeeee burnout.  Grin

Try resizing it with MS Photo Editor (with XP) or similar to about 600 x 400 pixels.  This should bring it down below 100 kb and is then suitable for posting.
