Pretty much everything you wrote about the autobahnen is true. Of course only a minority of these roads are derestricted anyway and conditions tend to preclude being too silly on them apart from occasional blasts which is kinda pointless in the context of an actual journey.

If you ain’t used to driving fast on roads then don’t try it *just because you can* on Germany’s autobahnen. The recommended limit on ALL these roads is 130 kph (80 mph) and that’s probably about right. If you are accustomed to US roads then hammering it down the autobahn is probably not safe for you and less safe for…

At the moment they have a sale going on. It is well worth looking at pages other than the Kinja special page. I am looking at a linen suit from Summer 2017 with a discount almost as great as the Kinja clearance specials.

This looks like a great deal and, as I do not live in the U.S I just wanted to share that this offer is available globally, with a few exceptions.

That’s the problem though, right? The testing, or rather the analysis of it.

If the world has decided that doing so is OK, as many Democrat supporters seem to do then why on earth are you now saying that there’s a problem here?

Interesting presentation. I like his take on it. Seems to me that the result is actually good for both client and seller. And yes, I think that for most people buying on credit the payment IS the thing. The cash price is kinda meaningless in this context because the buyer is never going to pay cash, they are are…

The traveling poor gotta be pretty damn poor if they can’t afford to buy a press wherever they happen to find themselves.

There was a time I was a frequent visitor to the Land of the Free. This is not that time.

I am glad it isn’t just me!

But that’s a separate matter, however, imagine the fuss and commotion when the inspector tells you about the shock. You call him a liar things go from bad to worse.

And when you get partial information and start making a fuss about the partial information shared?

Should I think differently of you because you were in the air force? Seems an odd thing to me, at least as odd as judging you by what you wear.

Decent suit is very comfortable. Crappy suit is uncomfortable.

Also from Europe and as you see I noted not small engines and that it is a torque thing. 1st to 5th? Can’t see it in a normal car but probably a typo. I don’t think my Merc actually had a five speed auto. :)

Is that something related to torque? OK, me no engineer or anything, but if the 4th gear can provide adequate torque at the top end revs of first gear then it’d go smoothly enough. That’s not going to happen on a small engined car though. Yonks ago I used to do stuff like that with my S500, albeit using the manual…

Do you really not get taught the basics of car control when learning to drive over there? I understand that most cars are automatics but don’t you learn to drive manual boxes?

Guess what will happen when a load of people start using ‘off peak’ power?

Pneumonia is just shit in the lungs. Millions of people walk around with shit in their lungs and never know about it. I was one of them. Something took me to see the doctor, he did the chest tapping and stuff and then sent me off for an xray.

I bet he does suffer with gout but we old school Britons, as well as the stiff big toes, also have a stiff upper lip and, apart from the slight change to our gait, we never, never, let on about the agony we endure. Because that’s what an old school Briton does!
