All Guns Blazing...

This is the scene which met us as we left the Honda garage in Poitiers this morning..

We are aware that the French are having a clamp down on motoring offences, but really... is this necessary?

Perhaps we'd courted suspicion by turning up at the Honda garage in the 2CV...Or perhaps their brief was to go and test the vehicle emissions of the poor folk of Poitiers??

As they mingled inconspicuously with the traffic on the roundabout, they gave a whole new meaning to the phrase "all guns blazing"!

Meanwhile we made our way home in the 2CV, content in the knowledge that French troops have well maintained amphibious vehicles - should we ever need one!

Have you been arrested yet for photographing and publishing pictures of the military? I believe it is technically illegal in France (and that includes the police who are military).

Sorry Susan, subjudice prevents me from commenting!

I think you should have named the post "Honda Attack!"....
and which of them wouldn't have passed the CT with that exhaust??
