Unless of course he was a cop and he was "testing the performance" of his car...

He was also in a non-UK plated vehicle so may have had jurisdictional issues to contend with.

The driver of the Bugatti – a left-hand drive model with French number plates – was given three penalty points and a fixed fine of £60.

Police said the Bugatti was officially clocked at 97mph.

What are the chances!?

Quite high in Utrecht, I should imagine. Little things reveal the amount of money around there: like when I went to buy a record deck while I was living on the Nieuwe Gracht (in a house I might add). Utrecht has 4 authorised Linn dealers. Lesser places like London and New York only have 2.

Actually it was a beige one. He's a good mate, so I'm allowed to rib him about it.

Oh, I could have died!

It couldn't have been worse if they recognised me when I was sat in a Citroen Xantia with a failed suspension.
