    never heard of him - but Champ's tone suggests he's met him IRL.

    having said that, my suggestion makes no sense, as it's K series
    beemers that burnt has.

    quelle surprise "He added that France was the most unco-operative
    country."

    I'd like to know if this is a ukrm record. Can anyone beat four
    speeding tickets in one French trip?

    What makes you think that Les Fliques will let you past the border this
    time :)

    That's not a bad thing, IMO. It means that it'll be difficult to reach
    a Euro wide agreement, which means less to worry about for the moment.

    Anyway, France is probably being seen as unco-operative, because their
    data protection laws are so strict. They're not like the DVLA giving
    all and sundry to anyone who asks.

    <G> Nice.

    But my BiL can beat that. He was flashed 8 times on a recent trip from
    Paris to Spain. He did a journey that would take around 8 hours in
    just over 6. Including his (albeit short) Spanish leg.

    Yes, this has been suggested elsewhere. Hm.

    I would suggest that cheapness has a bearing on the equation too. People
    and proper aircraft are expensive to maintain and replace.

    I bet he got done on the A10 where it crosses the Loire at Tours. I
    know I was, in both directions[inc one @>180kph (110 limit)]. Plus
    both directions on the bend on the N10 at Labouheyre. At least, they
    were the four I noticed.

    If they're that worried about speeders in Iraq, either things are not as bad
    as they seem, or the priorities are as fucked as they are in the UK.

    Welcome to the club...

    You can of course demand the picture(*), before acknowledging and paying
    and this has to be stated on any form they send you.

    (*) You have to make a deposit payment if you go this route... but I
    wonder how a foreigner can make such a payment. Asking without the
    payment may botch the whole process and they'll forget you.

    many miles when we were working in Turkey.

    An ex pal of mine was a beak and to be brutal, he knew **** all about
    anything, but he THOUGHT he knew everything about everything and wasn't shy
    in letting everyone he knew know it.

    It'll only take one of those things coming down to make every force buy a
    few. If things carry on like this, expect the thought police in a fortnights
    time.
