Senna, don't believe everything you hear. Police have to abide by rules to. Escort duty is more about maintaining a speed than about high speed. There is certainly no chance that someone so important would be taken at 130mph in a heavy armoured car. Way too dangerous. Thats not to say they don't speed, but it would be no where near the norm. SEG whom escort in london maintain a minimum of 20mph (but rarely above 30) right through london. ____________________ Travelling around the world...a bit at a time. Where am I now? / Visit my BLOG

natv4, the guy doesn't work in the UK! And you are right about speeding, but I think they don't get caught because of immunity, not that they are allowed to
Most of the time according to him they drive an empty limo, something to do with security (diversion).
I have been with him a few times, and he drove like a mad man, but then the car had flags, and the number plates covered by a "number plate cover" ____________________ "You don't know the power of the dark side." |

I'd possibly be interested, ive looked a the iron butt information and i have been looking into something similar myself.
The idea i have been looking into is 2000 miles in 48 hours which would be based around a john o groats-lands end-john o groats type of run. I am aware that a direct run would not encompass the mileage so obviously the route would have to be expanded some how.
I do like the idea of turning it into some sort of relay run with inbetween sections to be determined by the individuals.
Iron butt seems welcoming to people setting up there own events so it could be easily done as part of this organisation. Theres just a registration fee to pay for the Ironbutt certificate but is only 50 pounds there abouts

Sounds like fun, if I have my bike on the road by the time it's all decided I'd definitely be up for it
I like the idea of checkpoints at landmarks and taking pics

slept for almost 2 days afterward though. its hard on the body, especially on a tiny zx4 (im 6'4") and it wasn't easy, ____________________ the humans are dead
