[I am not intending this to become an US vs UK debate. You have Bush, we have Blair - nuff said!!]
You Autobahn statement, IMHO, obviates all the advantages you say we have!
But what about the beautiful countryside of Scotland, you can take a ferry to Ireland, you've got the white cliffs, I could go on and on. Yeah, we have scenic stuff here too, but something about an old Scot/Welsh/Irish castle staring out across the sea really stirs me...
(Oh, changing to HID >IS< illegal here too. Only vehicles originally equipped with HID are "legal". But you'd either have to a) really **** off a cop or b) have a really sharp vehicle inspector to get in trouble. That said, I'm planning to order some :roll: ).
