Sticking some blue lights and possibly a lightbar on the ex plod V70 for the camp site but bank balance says no to anything else... Was tempted to batenburg up when we got into France but looks unlikely frown

Yeah I went with some blue lights last year, had some fun but it was a little risky but it did seem to keep the s away on Sunday/Monday wink. What's the law on having blue lights in France? In the UK I think technically you could have a vehicle covered in blue LED flashing lights so long as they are clear when switched off and so long as you never switch them on on a public road, but not certain on this point!

Shall have to come park up next to you! Think its just as illegal as over here but Le plod do turn a blind eye to it alot. Some porsche was driving around with a blue flashing lightbar a few years back. Mainly got a thumbs up from the doughnut patrol.

There was a group in Houx last year that had everything painted Gulf colours, and I mean everything! Cool boxes, radios,etc.

There was also the brigade of Reliants a couple of years ago.

As the co-builder of the 2007 LeManbulance and the 2009 Aston Benz unfortunately theres no plans from us to create a 2012 project. We've got ideas for future builds but not this year.
