OK, so who got nicked for how fast, and where?

Either on the way down, while at Le mans, or on their way back?

While driving down the Mulsanne Saturday morning on the way to the PH meet there were no fewer than 3 laser speed traps being operated or setup... Did they get any "customers"?

On the way home last night apparently my guardian angel was out because I blew through a speed trap that was apparently in the process of being disassembled since nobody came to speak to me later about my selected cruising speed....

Amazing weekend Sucks to be working today, and more than 4 hours of sleep last night would have been nice! (got home at 3am)

I didn't go to LM so didn't get caught, but just want to congratulate you on your car, I have always wanted a Pantera, yours looks fantastic. Your log-in name gave me the clue.

Thanks, it is a most practical Le Mans car... (I feel a thread hijack coming on...) Room for two sleeping bags, two air mattresses, a tent, a fold-up picnic table, a propane stove, clothes for two, a cooler, a well-stocked toolbox, etc etc etc.... I don't know what more you really need? It also allows you the opportunity to stretch your legs ever 90 minutes so you can feed another 80 liters of petrol in so you never get too cramped!

Conversation goes like this "are you aware of why we stopped you?" "yes, speeding" "correct you were doing 169 kmh in a 130, normally the fine for this is 40 euros but if you will give our colleague a ride in your car we will ignore this" to which my relieved mate replies "Vive la France" I proceed to take the guy for a blast down the local road with my mate in hot pursuit. We do a three point turn to come back and a police van gets between the two of us...I am unsure what to do speed wise but then figure "hey he'll be in a lot more trouble than me if i get stopped again" so absolutely nail it...no problems at all...don't buy a zapper, get a policeman! All told cost us nothing and delayed us by less than 15 minutes...biggest result of the weekend!!!

That really is a great story, and sort of gives me faith in the human race again (or at least Le Flics....)

(Oh, and t1grm, yes I was camped in bleu... you are right - there couldn't have been all that many cars matching that description there...)
