I’m 100% certain cost is a factor. I bet they could replicate the UK recipe but it would shrink their profit margin.

In the UK, in the early 90's, my first car was a 1.3 liter Ford Escort four door. Most big motorbikes have bigger engines here now!

Actually I had that with a guy driving a Maserati in the snow yesterday. Tried to muscle into my lane with an air of superiority, but as I had no need to slow down, I simply kept level while watching them get deeper and deeper into slush, as well as getting sprayed with slush I was throwing up. He gave up.  

Never had any issues with my LR’s..

Having moved from the UK to the US, the mentality here is definitely “Bigger is better”, and often it seems to be to bolster the road rage mentality. “I’m bigger than you, so YOU give way”.

You’re doing it right. But there are Silverado’s out there whose bed has never seen dirt, let alone dirt attached to a bike.

What no love for the 3000GT MR? (Mitsubishi Racing).

Note that this is the Premium combo kit, so an extra-sweet deal.

I’m in a minority I reckon. My biggest bugbear in eateries is waiting forever for someone to clear plates and ask if we want the check. If I stack plates, it’s not “a little help here” - it’s “GTF over here, I want to leave..”

Sh*tting and scrolling I understand. What I never get is the guys who pee at a urinal and have their phone out.

Your talent for amusing acronyms is impressive. Good article too.  

Are crappy looking toenails really a sign of something terrible going on elsewhere or is that just clickbait adds? I’ve finally gotten several of mine from totally white to a normal-ish color but they are still not smooth and pink. Oddly I have one perfectly normal one. All the rest would miss foot model standards by…

I installed Fake A Fax on my iPad. If I get a call on my iPhone and it’s a spam call*, I fire up the fake fax noise on the ipad and blast it into the speaker on the iPhone. Seems to get my number struck off a lot of lists.

Hence why “Euro Bumpers” and “no side markers” is a selling point on many classics these days. World market compatibility killed that all off nowadays.

Me: Alexa - Dispense enough to rub salt in my wound for being stupid enough to buy this thing.

I own a 1953 Omega RAF military issue watch. It’s nicknamed the “Fat Arrow” version and is worth, on average, $1000 dollars LESS than the Thin Arrow version.

The only thing I can relate to on this is that I have two young kids (4 and 6). They play iPad games but aren’t quite up to a level where they can play adventure games or other in-depth ones themselves. However, they LOVE to sit either side of me and watch me play, pointing out hidden treasures or suggesting tactics,…

I remember when a contributor starring a commenter elevated that commenter to being a starred commenter. I used to be one. Ah, the glory days..

Reminds me of a story I read about a guy who found his Dad’s ghost car laps on a racing game. He played the game so he could race with his Dad.

The injured cop was shot in the hand.
