I don't know. How fast are ya? :sly: FYI, I'm very fast....... to go off the pavement and start mowing the grass with my all-wheel-drive Mitsu FTO.

Slow and erratic.:(

Edit: I had my first driving lesson Tuesday last week, I repeatedly broke the speed limit and was "a danger to those around me".

I thought I was good.:)

Come to my house for a good GT-spanking. Then visit Mars, VEXD, Mr. P, daan and GilesGuthrie for similar... :D

Of course, if you come over on 28th/29th October, you could come to UKGTP6...

One thing England has over Scotland is roast dinners... I can't say it has ever been a tradition in Scotland to have a roast on a Sunday lunchtime (although I reckon plenty of people do in Scotland), but here in England you can't seem to walk for 5 minutes without coming across a pub that's doing a roast lunch... although, if it's pub grub you are after, I can't say I've been anywhere better for lunch in the pub than Ireland - but you can get a mean Sunday roast just about anywhere in England 👍

The traditional English breakfast, however, is sometimes mildly disappointing - since the best thing about it for me is haggis, and you don't get that down here 👎

Best pub lunch: France. Only when you've had brie and ham on a fresh baguette, washed down with a properly-chilled Chablis, or Steak-frites with a Burgundy Pinot Noir can you consider yourself to have eaten lunch properly.

However, Ireland does the best breakfasts. Combining American excess with Scottish flavour (proper sausages, fried bacon - none of this grilled s**, fried mushrooms, eggs, hash browns and 1"-thick toast), and usually served until noon, they totally rock.

From what I have seen yesterday, slow, very slow but very disciplined. The only thing I found very dangerous is, when it starts to rain almost everybody brake. Beglians don't even drive slower (which is also very dangerous), when it starts to rain. My friend was 80% of the time faster with his truck then other trucks and cars.

Well, good to see me and my dad are just right in America. We were cruising today in a minivan at 90 mph and we were getting passed by cars going at least 100mph on the highway. Woot! :)

The UK seems really interesting though. I saw on a show yesterday that a guy in Kent converted a nuclear war bunker into an IP security storehouse. Cool to the max :cool: I was surprised at that much security in what seemed like a nice country town on TV. :)
