Best ship off to one of the remaining socialist paradises then

Even when RR made cars, the jet engine business was separate and had been so since 1973 when the nationalised RR was sold off and split up by the government.

Isn't America the land of the free market economy? You can't have it both ways you know.

I didn't get far, fortunately I was only going to Hermosa Beach

I'd buy one

Phew! I drove for about 15 minutes, in evening rush hour, down Sepulveda south of LAX, without my lights on in a silver/grey Camry

If that was in LA, it could have been me :shamefaced:

Absolutely ruined it......he even took out the awesomely useless electronic dashboard

Its an interesting article, big yellow trains are cool, just needs clarification that this is not a new thing.

It's not exactly new having been in service since around 2008/09, it's also a converted HST 125 which entered service in 1976. The power units have had an engine upgrade swapping out the old 79 litre turbo charged V12's (2,250 bhp) for the newer MTU V16 units.

I've done the factory tour and the performance driving experience, it was amazing. I got spoken too about my overly crazy driving in an M3.........I thought, shit I'm in an M3 on a track and its not mine, how else am I going to drive it?!

Cool, I'm visiting in a couple of weeks

For example a VW Polo Blue Motion is not much big, can take four adults easily, has a…

I just rented a BMW 116d M Sport in the UK for two weeks, 67mpg in something larger than a Smart but still small enough to negotiate rural roads, took 3 peoples luggage and is a blast to drive. Something as small as a Smart should be far more economical than 42mpg.
