The saving grace is the British American Club here (although I'm biased, I got lumbered with being President this year ). I think if we didn't have that link, we'd have moved on already.
Yea we moved up here and its gorgeous...a bit like Cheshire but with the florida weather...loads of rolling hills covered in ancient oaks, horse farms and room to breath! And the people are much, much friendlier.

Theres only one way to get that enourmous...eat shit loads...but there has to be mental problems to allow it. I really, really could not physically eat that much. Ever.

The US has the best healthcare system in the world. At least, according to George Bush. Wait for that line to be repeated in the state of the union address next week, without mention that 45 million people have no insurance and that medical bills are the biggest cause of personal bankruptcy.

The "Challenger" hasn't even been given the green light to go into production yet by Daimler Chrysler, it's still a design prototype awaiting approval.

Unless you are refering to the "Charger" thats back in production now as a four door sedan :scared:

You've heard that from USC's that have never driven on the French Autoroutes.

As much as I detest anything French I have to admit that they have the motorway system sewn up as far as traffic congestion and actual road surfaces are concerned.

Just a bloody shame they cost an arm and a leg to drive on.
