The new 80Kmh limit here is stupid IMO, I need to exceed the speed limit for long enough for the torque converter to lock up
+1 on that Keith, if I do 84 kmh the gearbox will settle down. At 80 kmh it jumps up two gears and then settles down if you come to an incline... Damn garlic slingers!!!The new 80Kmh limit here is stupid IMO, I need to exceed the speed limit for long enough for the torque converter to lock up
No one takes a blind bit of notice about the 80kmh limit where I am and the Gillets Jaune have removed many of the speed cameras+1 on that Keith, if I do 84 kmh the gearbox will settle down. At 80 kmh it jumps up two gears and then settles down if you come to an incline... Damn garlic slingers!!!

Where the cameras are working, there is little leeway, I got done for 72 kph in a 70 limit at midnight on a clear summer night with no traffic.

France with my P38. A roadside warning showed me at 71kph about 500 metres before the radar, so I though I was OK. 70kph is difficult on the P38 as the width of the needle makes it hard to be precise, now I slow to an indicated 65

As far as I'm aware any non homologated change requires inspection and approval by the DRIRE. However MOT testers seem in some cases to turn a blind eye to mods. I wonder what happens with insurance in the case of an accident though.If they are that touchy in froglandia, it's a good job the off roaders over here with their silly bloody great wheels and tyres don't live there.
