Coco Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Interesting about closing the loophole on foreigners trying to "avoid" congestion charge. Last time we were in London in our French registered car we tried to pay - but there were actually no signs telling you how or where - what's the foreign tourist supposed to do? And when we tried to pay online the system couldn't cope with our French registration number and so refused to take the money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got out ofthe car and walked over to ask if I could use a mobile to call my bossto let him know I'd be late. The burger guy charged me £1.00 for thecall and they all watched whilst I jacked the car up, changed the tyreand pumped up the spare, never offered a hand even though it's reallynot easy undoing wheel nuts when you're wearing heels and a skirt!!!(you try it!)It's only when I could not tighten the nuts back on that one of them came over to help out!!!!!!!Men!!!!!!!!!!

Bugsy Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 A car was driving down the street when all of a sudden it started swerving. The car was going back and forth till someone with a cell phone called the police. A police officer pulled the car over. A blonde rolls down the window and says, " Officer, I'm so glad you are here. I saw a tree in the road, then I saw another. So I had to swerve to keep from hitting it!" The officer looks at her, then says, "Ma'am, that's your air freshener." ..................................[Www] Sorry..............................................

AnOther Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 [quote user="Bob T"]I have a picture of my bikes GPS showing a maximum speed attained of 238 kmh, does that mean I am bad? Should I tell myself off?[/quote]On a public road I'd say mad rather than bad, different if it was on a race track of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deauville Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I just want to say 'don't do the crime if you can't do the time' Not a supercilious remark - 30 yrs driving/riding, plenty of speed thrills, NO POINTS - just observe the posted limits and there's no problem is there?

If we fancy a blast, we go on a track-day. Ride, or indeed drive, in any other way in France today, and you will get pulled sooner or later. Do you have a Honda, by any chance.?

Deauville Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Well done Mark! Sadly the reflexes aren't what they were and a 650 V tourer is the current (and probably last) steed! Having said that a couple of years ago we did a 3000 mile 15 day Pyreneean tour on it and found ourselves surrounded by Hogs making their way to Barcelona for the H.D. European Centenary and even with a shed load of camping gear we were still able to blow them all off on the mountain roads - they can't get round the bends can they??!!
