It says he's only banned from driving in France. If true, I doubt that'll be too much of an inconvenience.

Hes based in the Swiss tax haven now so it could be a bit more of the pain than if he still lived here.

How funny would that be if there was a Grand Prix within a month and he wasn't allowed to drive!

Joe 90 · 19-12-2007, 14:31

yeah it was funny for a minute...

then i realised he's minted so probably doesn't give a toss. i'm sure he could fly out to some other coutry, buy a house, car and suddenly he's back on the road.

It's only limited to not driving in France IIRC. Besides for him it's nothing really cost wise. Sure he's got the skill to drive at that speed, but what he can't cater for is other people's reaction to his driving, which is a bit selfish really.

Of course I speed from time to time but you take those chances don't you!?

I have experienced this.

It was slightly scary.

When Will had his head out of the window at 80mph shouting into the wind I wanted to get out

It's a skydiver's habit... I'll break out of it soon....

Nutcase · 19-12-2007, 19:58

Yeah, but another skydiver's habit is to have a parachute with you. Did you? Well?

Wonder if the coppers were driving Renaults
