One of us? Maroon 2.3 (?) facelift saloon, R380...... in excellent condition stuck in tailback caused by jack-knifed caravan & car near Holywell on A55 Sunday morning 16th June 07. Driver acknowledged my wave. I was in black facelift Cosworth saloon and you were right behind me.

Tried? Was it that bad  ?
Despite Richard Brunstrom's efforts (Chief Constable of North Wales) and his zero tolerance towards speeding road users the A55 continues to have a high accident rate. Is that why SWMBO hit you ?

I was in that tail back Sunday morning just before the turn off to the Chester by-pass caused by that caravan, when I passed the caravan was being hauled onto a low loader, the car was in the opposite direction - looks like he jack knifed and the skid marks were going right into the verge - It was not me that flashed you, never saw any Scorps that day.
I was flashed by two motorists Saturday afternoon on my way out from Beaumaris, but one looked like a mini, did not catch the other make of car.
