After reading the article about French police I think we should employ them here. Two days ago some scrote decided that they wanted to nick my boot badge (they badly broken it) and stole that of an A6. Replaced it this morning, came home at 14:00 and left to pick up the missus at 17:00 broad...

Link to Video I wonder, how does he turn?? :eek: Is that an s-class?

I have just been on a 3 week trip in France in my 1990 W126 560SEC, and noticed a curious problem which oddly, seems to have almost disappeared since I got back. I've scanned the forum for clues, but don't quite know where to start with troubleshooting. The symptoms were: a) a slight...

Just blagged myself one of these in advance of this year's summer drive to Monaco. Its a device in the windscreen that allows you to use the toll booth on the French autoroute that invariably has little or no queue. :rolleyes: . It works by direct debit and so no collecting ticket or having to...

Here's a repost of a link to a French w124 site http://w124.org/ I posted this before somewhere but would draw attention to the "methodes" section which has some good "HowTos"with pics. They are in French but the pictures are self explanitory. mainly concerned with interior trim and doors...

I have just received an e-mail from a friend in France regarding new speeding regs, it makes scary reading. Starting June 2003, if you're caught speeding 30 kms over the speed limit, you'll loose your license for three years. Apparently, this now also applies for all EC members. Speeding...

Has anyone had any dealings with them recently regarding Laser / radar detectors ? I have to go to France in the next 3-4 weeks, and will be taking the Merc, which is "hard-Wired" for my B2. I know I can leave the B2 unit at home, but will they still see the laser detector, GPS and mounting...

The sound of my car horn has been a bit odd lately. At first it was intermitent but then it became permanent. Basically, the horn sounds "flat", as if its a french horn being blown by someone with a weak breath. In fact its more like a fart sound made by a clown. It doesnt do much favour to the...

Just seen an ad for the new SLK on French TV, haven't noticed it on UK TV though. Anyone seen it? Bob

I've got some Aussie mate coming over in July and they want to go to the french GP except some websites are reporting it's cancelled, and others say it's going ahead. Can anyone fill me in? ta...

Just been reading through the AA website before I jolly off dans le Continent and have just seen that the French Police as well as handing out very stiff fines will now confiscate 'on-the-spot' the licenses of any EU Driving Licence Holders they catch doing more than 25kph over the limit...
