This thread should be "interesting stories of your encounters with Leo's while in Las Vegas":lol

While I was a passenger with Soroush during that now famous rally pull over.

I also have a story about a Leo.:frown

On Thursday morning I take Rocketman (Ron) as a passenger to visit SAI. After SAI everyone leaves to do the first road rally. A few of us were starving, so we go to get a bite to eat at Shelby's café. The main group of cars (about 40 cars) took off with out us (about 4 cars). After we finish eating, I offer Ron to drive my car seeing that he left his gal at home.

The ride was about 100 miles so we agreed that we would split the ride 50/50 driving. Ron was having too much fun and I was enjoying his driving. Ron drove for about 70 miles.

Now it is my turn. I get in the car drive for about 3 minutes before coming over hill to see a Leo at the bottom. I slam on the brakes (a complete nose dive). The Leo pulls out behind me and follows me for about 25 miles going 35 mph. He finally passes as we approach the highway.

It was a very nice scenic slow drive.:willy

That was you? We were in the first GT that caught your rolling roadblock. A group of three GTs almost blew by us but decided against it when they saw your "friend" glued to your bumper. Talk about a buzz kill.

They drive 250 to 300kph in the left lane while a stream of slow traffic is in the right lane. (the A8 stayed at 275kph most of the way)

Sorry for the byline hijack


Yes, they have some good drivers in Germany! In the US someone would pull out from the right lane and it would be the EOYL!
