And, yes, we have been "caught", but fortunately the gendarmes have only found us while we were parked, plotting our next lunatic assault on the next bit of road. We would all be riding the bus for the rest of our lives if they had actually seen the antics that elicited the cell phone calls that alerted them in the first place...

LOL, Jeff, we used to carry two ways radios. I shudder thinking back about what people thought about a pair of 911s blasting past around a blind corner, having been called on by a guy ahead....ah, good times.

We actually had the local constabulary tune into our radio channel one day. One got in front of us, filling the role of an erstwhile "pace car", herding us all into a pull-out. We had some serious 'splaining to do regarding our overheard radio chatter... He wound up being extremely cool about the whole thing, not citing anyone, but rather explaining how we had been frightening the locals... We got off easy that day...
