Swede faces world-record $1m speeding penalty The Swede was driving a Mercedes SLS AMG - which has a top speed of 317km/h A Swedish motorist caught driving at 290km/h (180mph) in Switzerland could be given a world-record speeding fine of SFr1.08m ($1m; £656,000), prosecutors say.


The 37-year-old, who has not been named, was clocked driving his Mercedes sports car at 170km/h over the limit.

Under Swiss law, the level of fine is determined by the wealth of the driver and the speed recorded.

In January, a Swiss driver was fined $290,000 - the current world record.

Local police spokesman Benoit Dumas said of the latest case that "nothing can justify a speed of 290km/h".

"It is not controllable. It must have taken 500m to stop," he said.

The Swede's car - a Mercedes SLS AMG - has been impounded and in principle he could be forced to pay a daily fine of SFr3,600 for 300 days

THE FOOTBALL WORLD CUP STARTS!

Last Friday saw the start of the FIFA World Cup which is being held in South Africa. 32 National sides competing to be crown the World Champions. Played over a month (just over) the early stages comprise of 8 groups of 4 teams. Each team in that group plays each other once and score points for a win or a draw. 3pts for a win and one point for a draw. The top two from those groups then progress on the knock out stages. I love the World cup! Played every four years the teams have to Qualify for the tournament over a 2 year period. I’m glued to the games and I must admit I am a sad-o’ with a wall chart keeping tabs on the score. England played their first game of the tournament last Saturday again the USA! It’s a big thing here. Me mate but on a BBQ and there were about 25 of us all around a TV in his back garden. Few little ales allllways helps with the atmosphere too. Aherm. I was on tea….cough. The result ended in a 1-1 Draw. The English Keeper made a terrible mistake and USA scored a “jammy” goal. Rob Green could not catch a cold let alone a football! Never mind, just one of those things. If I find that goal I will post it. Some players have mumbled about the new ball design and that the flight of it is unpredictable at times. Mmmm…sounds like an excuse to me. Funnily enough the new ball was developed at the University here. Lol! The other thing that’s been getting on my nerves (apart from the standard of English goal keeping) is the Vuvuzela Horns that are blown by the crowd. It sounds awful! It’s just a constant Drone that makes it sound that there is a Bee hive in your TV. It just drowns out the commentary and any atmosphere from the support for the teams. They have talked about banning them but I don’t think they will. England play their next game on Friday night against Algeria. I’m going over to South Africa with me Mittens and I’ll play in goal!

Vast four SIM park that will take you a fair while to explore. Be it on your own or using the various types of transport (Jeep, sea plane or horse and others) this place will keep you occupied for a few hours. My favourite is the Tandem cycle ride. An automated trek over the 4 SIMs with the ride split into 4 parts. Check it out……
