Belgian Waffled? was traffic cop

[mike]

it was 1993 or thereabouts...my memory is not what it
was

One thing i do remember vividly from that trip was
coming across a pair of trabants in Germany. Me doing
about 120 and them doing maybe 35. I pulled out to
pass...a few secs later the back trabant did the same
and pulled out to pass the front one at about 36mph,
leaving me with not very much space in which to lose
about 85mph. I did it but only just.
