Miltä kuullostaisi tämä? Normaali kuluttajalle tämä kyllä aiheuttaisi pienen katkoksen harrastetoimintaan...

THREE Britons each clocked doing more than 130mph during the infamous Cannonball Run will have their motors confiscated and sold by French police.
Nicholas Manning, 42, Benjamin Hugues, 27, and Timon Cooke, 26, face six months jail unless they hand over the £70,000 Ferrari Spider 355, £60,000 Porsche 911 and top-range Mitsubishi.
They were among hundreds of drivers in the run from London to Monte Carlo in September last year. Witnesses told how they "slalomed" around slower vehicles, often overtaking on the hard shoulder as they sped down Autoroute 1 from Calais to Paris. They were finally stopped at a police checkpoint.
Magalie Arquie, prosecuting at Senlis, north of Paris, said: "They used the motorway like a Formula One circuit."
As well as receiving six-month suspended sentences, they were fined £3,000 each for dangerous driving.
Modelled on the race across America in the 1970s, the event attracts playboys from around the world for three days of fast cars, parties and luxury hotels.
Conrad Wall, of the Surrey-based Cannonball 8000 company, said: "We organise this as a tour, not a race. People are told not to break speed limits."
