Episode 4: Faster faster faster... oh bugger.
Driving back was eventful.. managed to make some good road movies, which as soon as we figure out how to share them I will!
Highlight was Mutley getting wound up by American drivers occupying the fast lane when not overtaking things. Eventually managed to break past some and over take a few nice and quickly down a hill.....
... and then there were these flashing blue lights (and I got the car pulling off on film). We remembered to stay in the car, after seeing all those american "cops" style programmes were people were pushed to the floor, thrown over cars, molested or just shot by surprised and jumpy police officers. Our "arresting" officer however was slightly nervous looking, very young, and terribly terribly nice to us. After inspecting Mr Willikers licence he returned and told us to simply keep the speed down. He asked a few simple, and seemingly pointless questions around who we worked for, what we were here for and when we were leaving, which I politely answered with lots of detail.. and then he simply said that he's fed up of picking up body parts from people who have hit Elk. You kind of realise why he looks so nervous.. any guy that spends his time collecting pieces of Elk from amidst freeway traffic is going to get a bit jumpy after the second near miss from one of these huge Articulated trucks. Poor chap.
