Colombian Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya has been stripped of his
licence after being caught driving at 204 kilometres per hour in southern
France, police said Monday.

The Williams-BMW star was clocked on a radar Sunday afternoon while driving
his BMW over the speed-limit on the A8 motorway between Les Arcs and Le Muy
south of here. He was then ordered to hand over his driving licence pending
a judicial investigation.

Local officials said that Montoya was facing a two-month suspension from
driving in France, but that would not affect his participation in the French
Grand Prix.

Yeah, but come on Doug.  204 Kmh, that's nearly 130 mph on a public
road.  Not sure what the speed limits are in France, but I would guess
they're not much different to the UK which means he was doing nearly
twice the national speed limit.

can i be the first (and if i get arrested probably the last) person to boast
about doing 117mph in a 1.1litre Fiat Seicento?

down hill, 'somewhere' on the M4, air was cool, had a great tow from a
people carrier that was topping a ton, heater=OFF, fan=OFF, sunroof=CLOSED,
lights=OFF (It was in the daytime), tailwind.

man!

Fiat should have me as their poster boy, theyd sell more cars :)

I thought Zanardi was brave. Then Ellison steps up and admits on RAS to
owning a 1.1 Fiesta.

What a crazy crazy man...<G>
