I just did my usual Paris-London commute, which is a quite long trip (186miles from paris to the Channel, then a 90 minutes boat ride, then 70 miles to London), on very crowded highways. I usually try to avoid rush hour, which is of course also "cop hour", so I started this morning at 5, and after driving carefully (170-200km/h, 105-125mph) during the first half of the french part, I reached the junction with my favorite part of the road, a deserted highway stretching over 100 kilometers (62 miles), with good surfacing, long curves, small hills, and very few vehicles.
At a point, I slowed down because several cars were overtaking a big truck, and as soon as the road was clear, I floored it as usual, leaving the cars behind. But one of those cars was an Audi TT coup

Le Car, your description of Paris: Cheese and Girls, Hmmm, in England that could be construed as something more sinister / sleazy, unless you meant that

Respect,

If you see my post two days ago RE 30 th March Trackday BOOK now, on the Track the 225 TT got a serious beating!!
