, i would be nice to have the extra v power bite doing over 200Km/hThat's not amazing, my good old 205 also seems to prefer good brand diesel.
No clue. They possibly have a specific name for their fuel, certainly not V power. There are good other types of Diesel fuel here, for example Elf Diesel Evolution (which my car seems to prefer). Oh, keep in mind that both petrol & fuel are slightly overpriced here, so don't forget to refuel before entering France, for example in Germany or Luxemburg (far better savings if you go to Lux).
With all the "Sarko boxes" (from the name of the minister which decided to install automatic speedtraps - of course where it's bargain and not where it's dangerous but not crowded), I don't think you'll do it for a long time. And radar detectors are forbidden since the first day they exist (I've heard they were forbidden in Netherlands yet, true ?). Of course you can drive while drunk, there is a low low risk to be controlled (not more than before, indeed). That's the perfect example of politics cowardness : pissing off GT which used to drive at 110KPH while a grandma can still be killed for 50EUR and SOB burn your car for fun. Of course it's easier. Of course it costs less.within two weeks i'm doing an overnight trip to Tignes( yes skiing, decadence etc
Of course, don't expect to find one in the deepest parts of France !i'm planning to refuel @ the BP station capellen in luxembourg, definitely 25 cents cheaper.... and as for the rest elf evo will be on the program...
on my route, i.e. on the a 31 near Metz. Last time i checked there where only 60 some of the cupboards along the autoroutes, compare that to tiny little holland with over a thousand of these and i'll tell you france is heaven. then again the fines for speeding are major in france i understand.i only once drove pissed as hell, in france, wrecking my 205, having police involved and they did not even asked if i had drunk... while the whole damn barrel was down the collar.
Oh, Tignes, not that a bad idea, but I guess I'd rather go to Insbrück - Austrian Alps are far better, that's where I use to park my Porsche between two Mercs
that where i parked my €500 305 between the X5 and ML 220 and got all the attention these people only get with a €200.000 car )))True ! Enjoy it and buy some cheap fags and booze too
Nice choice.
Eh eh... In France, if the radar detector is fixed into the car (for example, bolted on the dashboard), they can proceed the confiscation of the car as well.
That's a commonly used term, too.for what i've seen on the main routes there are only two Sarcophagus ( the name i heard from my french neighbour
A31 around Thionville (about 20 or 30 miles away from Metz), IIRC what my brother said (he often drives in that area). Guys slow slow down to 110 or 130 on all lanes, pass the Sarkobox and then put the pedal off the floor up to 160KPH, the speed they use to drive
Well, one thousand installed boxes are planned in 2006, IIRC. Oh, some of them are breaked off - I've heard that one, on Christmas's night, has been opened and the guy stole the digital camera which is inside
Or sometimes "naturally" breaked on accidents (the same way you can smash off the safety rail).Well, entrance price 90 or 135EUR, plus licence points, up to jail (yeah man, you drive too fast on a desert road you're a criminal now - burn the car instead it's just 24h max time in the police station).
Not surprised, sometimes they're just too stupid.
I never drive while drunk - which made me test drive all my friends' cars
And I guess that's a honnor matter : I prefer losing my license on speeding than in being drunk.C'mon you can find dutchies almost everywhere
Some nice Würtzen would be pretty nice. Never been to Austria indeed, but I thought they had tastes pretty close to Germans. OK, I've been only once in Germany, and I know their McDonalds are pretty the same than the ones we have here
True, too.if you want to park your car between any thing priced over 100.000 you might find a spot in Megève
Kind of "what the hell this car is ?" I guess. Another spot to park your car between two EUR500k cars is Monte-Carlo casino's car park. Damn, I've been once to MC when I was a child, my dad parked the 405 ('88 SRi, but still abetween the X5 and ML 220 and got all the attention these people only get with a ?200.000 car
Hi,
True ! Enjoy it and buy some cheap fags and booze too
NOT!damn A holes,
That's a commonly used term, too.

they have several clubs over here who try to make the live of the gastocamera's and the policeman quite "unpleasant"how many per hour do you have to be over the limit to get it confiscated? over here it is 50km/h to fast and you lose it we don't have point on our license thoughI never drive while drunk - which made me test drive all my friends' cars
C'mon you can find dutchies almost everywhere

Ok, on your way back to home, thenhey, i'm going skiing, not boozing
Perhaps they just gave up because of the foreign plates (your car is registered in netherlands, I suppose ?). I once knew a (french) guy which used to drive cars bought in Lux for example, and not paying for car parks, damn he claimed he never received any tickets !
I could imagine it's just a hard luck !
I've heard a similar story last night, pretty common with countryside brigades. Realize their most exciting job usually consists in a lost wallet
I should have a look soon !
this is what happens when acetone and peroxide mix together... http://www.onzinboetes.nl/fotoreponw.php?welke=554
Damn this *must* be funlast year they caught a BOA sleeping ( the term for the ones standing with speedcamaras down the road) they turned the camera towards the guy and then made some major ( and i mean major) speed tickets i wonder what the look on the face of the BOA HQ was when they saw their colleague sleeping at the wheel doing over 250
Use a lighter and make it burn, or destroy by fire. Oh, of course, with a stolen car !
Here it used to be 50, but it has been lowered to 40KPH over speed limit (which are damn too low nowadays, some 2*2 roads are better than many motorways (if you ever drove on the A86, going to Paris over Fleury en Bière, you know what I mean - compare with the N60 going to Orléans), how could you run @ 110KPH ? Just 'cause you don't pay the tax ? F*ck !
Lucky you ! Here it has been imposed (everything is imposed, and still it's considered as a democraty) in 1992. I'll make it simple and just explain the new rules : when you just had your driving license (with the red A on the back of your car), you've got 6 points for the first 2 years. With the "prices" for infactions, you can quite easily run out of points. Then you lose your driving licence for some time (2 years I guess) and have to pass it again. After these 2 f#cking A years, you've got your 12 points. Then it's the same price for speeding, or whatever you do, but you can do it twice
No offence here, I don't know how vacations are organized in NL, but you can see loads of them all around France most months of year, with caravans and all. Then a deep frenchy can easily think "damn', they're 50 millions on such a so little country" !:-( i like to be one of a kind, there is just 16milion of that and in general i do find dutch people rather annoying when abroad. Hence they think their alone in the world as well
