Eurostar to Lille, then TGV direct to Avignon, and Montpelier or
Marseilles. 183mph almost all the way.

How come when a train does 183 mph, everyone's all like "woohoo, this is
the
best thing ever, trains rule"... but when a car does 183 mph, everyone's
all
like "what an irresponsible, dangerous thing to do, why won't you think of
the children?!?!?!?"


When an aicraft does 600 miles an hour, people sip champagne and eye up the
totty.

When a car does 600 miles an hour the press descends from all over the
world.

On your logic, an aircraft can do 600 miles an hour in perfect safety, so
now I will go and buy Thrust SSC and do 600 mph down the M40 because that is
a safe speed.
