welcome to the site limey!

We are collectively jealous of the insane eco friendly cars you have in Europe, especially the fact we can't hardly get a stick shift to save our lives. Slushboxes are the norm over here in the colonies.

We have a couple other guys from the UK, arragonis springs most readily to mind.

Were it not for jeremey Clarkson, I'd never have caught the reference to british Leyland. Thanks to top gear (and doctor Who I'm afraid) I have become a bit of an anglophile and drink tea correctly, but I still think y'all eat strange bacon.
