Hey John! Great to hear from you!
Lol at the Paul Raymond....hahaha, couldn't possibly say whether I know what you're on about or not....I wasn't in that Club, however am familiar with certain posh parts of London, but I did find that the places there were generally for men only.
...aaaaanyway. Yep, bang-on with the BMW eThrottle pedal, no cable stretch, linkage slack or (maybe) slightly off leverage ratios, just a source signal straight to the ECU.
Oh yes, there's now quite a few roads with point-to-point average speed cameras. I wouldn't say many non-motorways have them though, perhaps some dual carriageways or roads being worked on. There's still a lot of good driving and riding to be had, you just need to know where to find it. Truth be told, a lot of those uber controlled roads are generally head-to-toe traffic at the best of times, so there'd be little opportunity to drive "enthusiastically" anyway.
