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.
Belgian is pretty good too...well it's the only one that's fully lit up for every mile...dull driving though.

Fully lit yeah, but worst surface I've ever driven on (motorways).

Unless you are refering to the "Charger" thats back in production now as a four door sedan :scared:
Still a concept, but it looks very nice....

as for the opening post...it doesn't bother me...i'm sure every Nation that's had it's hey day felt the same...look at the U.K, GREAT Britain indeed

and as for American's not knowing much about the world outside...well it's bloody expensive to travel...and to be honest I didn't know squat about the U.S when I got here still don't ...as for Oprah who cares?..I can proudly say I've never once watched her show not even for 5 mins.

German autobahns are old, more crowded than French autoroutes and all mostly 2 lane. Contrary to popular belief there is a speed limit on the majority of the autobahn network and they are also no longer FREE. You uncouth northern git!!!

I found Antwerp in the rush hour as exciting as a fairground ride when you hack through there in a truck.

The Challenger concept is f**king awesome. I love it because its close to the original which is better than can be said of the Charger...what a let down.

The mini.......never liked the "new" (BMW) mini anyway so not really bothered. It's just another great old car they tried to cash in on and then completely lost its character

Have to agree Toontje, especially the dutch side of the Kennedy tunnel from Antwerp to Meer.

It seems everybody is at it, taking a 'classic' American Muscle car and reinventing it. I love the GT40....awesome. The Mustang looks like pants though, which is a shame.

The wife has a British Racing Green Mini, it's not bad, not my cup of tea. The suspension crushes a new verterbrae everytime I manage to squeeze in it. She likes it because it's nippy and she can weave across 3 lanes of traffic with ease
