Blast Round The French Country Roads
Discussion
The plan is to catch an early train or ferry from dover
on a Saturday or Sunday morning.
Follow the coast road maybe down to Le Touquet for a spot of lunch. Another destination for the afternoon
yet to be decided then head home early evening.
Date yet to be set for June or July depending on interest. Cheap crossing, Cheap petrol, empty roads.
Anyone fancy it.

Sounds like fun, but be warned, if the French plod spot a bunch of English cars hooning they may well throw the book at you.
Shortly after I was overtaken by a UK plated 964 last Friday on the A16 to Boulogne sur Mer ... who was making progress ... I got stopped by a motorcycle cop. Fair dos, I was speeding ... 145 in a 130 section, so I've got no complaints. Nonetheless an awful lot of people cruise a long at 150 so I was a little surprised that I was being done. Then plod popped in the question "do you know the Porsche?" ... ah hah, think I, they thought we might be racing. Once I'd told them I didn't know the other driver, they relaxed, chatted about the car and "only" gave me a minimal fine.
They did seem to be unusually active on the A16 that night (giving cars the once over at toll barriers, bikes tucked into service roads along the motorway, vans at exits where they handed out the tickets, and there must have been unmarked cars tipping off the bikes) so I don't suppose they run blitzes like this all the time. But if you get caught up in one, a bunch of english cars would make an easy target.
