Wouldn't miss it for the world. Epic laughs, epic drives (2am track to gite with DAN! DAN! DAN!, Athol, Damo and my GTS was triumphant. And besides, where else could we go where armed police can tip up at the gite for a quiet chat?

About that???

Apparently the mayor of the local town was much impressed with the noise of our cars, and the speed with which they can move from point A to point B. He felt it a becoming addition to his town and wanted to send round some of his brave boys to congratulate us.

I think that was it anyway...

Much in-drawing of breath then, just a 'quiet word'? Presumably they didn't actually catch anyone and lighten their wallets?

The Mayor had probably just finished binge watching "Mad Dogs" and spat his red wine out when he saw you lot drive past his window

That's right. They said they would be hiding in the hedgerows* and waiting for us in case we forgot to be quiet and go slowly, but most(ly) we were respectable and respectful guests this year. Well, there was an unfortunate incident in the supermarket with a fog horn. And a trolley. But those were isolated outbreaks of mischief.

As our learned friend Mr Yoghurt observed, we're just a bunch of 12-year olds with supercars. Frankly, what do you expect? :smile:

*hardly a Churchillian speech: "we will hide in the hedgerows and under the bridges..."

Surprisingly the bucket and I will be going again in 2017, despite us getting pulled on the way back.

A nice cheery Gendarme said he only pulled us in as he liked the car :lol2:

Checked license & passports and sent us on our way

Stick me down as a provisional/passenger (for someone with no freinds) and I will probably fill an empty seat unless I am in Maserland again by then
