Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck

The FL2 was very happy and probably could have done more - it was not intended to speed, it just felt like 50 mph, I really should keep eye on speedo

In France was momentarily doing 100 mph

But the van was not on the back

But Georgie is bound to comment on that  'There is thunder' then 'There is the warble of a V8'

100? That's nothing. I managed a massive 104mph.

Yes, but I was cruising

Did not have foot to floor

Only eased off when wife said how fast are we going?  'There is thunder' then 'There is the warble of a V8'

My wife was asleep at the time.

Hey Chris,

Look at some of my past cars!

Have done well over three figures

Any still cars passed as if I was in a tractor

There is always someone faster than a ferret  'There is thunder' then 'There is the warble of a V8'

I need to get a sports car, I did look at a DB9, but I don't think I could stretch to one.

DB9 Nah,

Loads up here in Aberdeen!

You need a Ferrari in Rosso Red - met a guy who had one of those in Italy in a cafe whilst driving the passes in the SD4. He was a nice guy but looked about 12, his car was fabulous

Will never be able to afford a Ferrari - but intend to buy another Porsche

What was we doing in Italy?

Decided to drive from Innsbruck to Italy so that we could enjoy a pizza

200 mile trip, it was worth it over the passes - the pizza was okay as well  'There is thunder' then 'There is the warble of a V8'

Yes sorry Mav.

I would love to go to Italy, I have never actually been. Wont be this year, I have already been away 3 times this year (once with the Freely to Spain) and going to New York in October.

Not really a fan of Ferrari. I would rather have a lime Green Lamborghini.

Been to Italy at least ten times - lovely place!

This year my Freely did over 3000 miles on holiday in Austria/Germany with a quick trip into Italy, a leisurely drive through France to stay in Belgium prior to going home in Scotland - did not miss a beat. Was not all towing as my caravan stays on the Swiss border! Was on holiday whole of July so had excellent weather.

Have toured the states (mid 80s) and would love to have another trip over there, need to start planning that for the future.

My holiday next year is already accounted for - will be going back to Germany for whole of July.

Post us a post card from New York  'There is thunder' then 'There is the warble of a V8'

Chris,

Can you provide some information on your trip to Spain?

How you got there/ how long it took to get there/ where you went whist there?

Might consider it for a future venture.

Have been to Spain many times - but have flown etc

Have a look at this thread;

I will drop you a PM, save clogging up the forum.

Just to put a damper on the French speedy thing, it is actually taken from the gross train weight figure shown on the vin plate, stick any trailer on the Freelander and your speed limit falls to 56mph, the logic of our friends across the water takes some wondering, as the way the law is written means you can stick a 1500kg trailor or caravan on the back of a Golf and drive unrestricted, put a 900kg trailor/caravan on the back of a Freebie and you are immediatly restricted to the lower speeds and are supposed to display the 80 & 90kph plates on the back of the trailor as well.........how much notice to the Gendarmarie take? I know not, but their are a few caravans about with the new speed stickers displayed.

Incorrect on the stickers, the stickers are only required on French registered vehicles and not on private trailers and caravans attached to UK vehicles. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior
