Everyone will look at you in your Cayman and think you couldn’t afford a 911

VW just copied Billabug, which was first show circa 1990

Exactly, they are not direct competitors

And you can get any number of used Miata’s fit much less.

You should probably go see a doctor

She would choose the 1.5

Then you need a different vehicle

I would quite happily choose the 1.5 over the larger engine. To insist on a larger, heavier, slightly more powerful engine is missing the point of the MX-5

I’ve been to the state and the small town in England, I know feel I should visit the Maryland one to complete the hat-trick

Ah yes, but where is California?

Agreed, I never suggested they did

It’s not a matter of being dumb, I know many very intelligent Americans and who are very ignorant of matters outside the US.

It would take a lot longer though. Ask anyone in any of those cities where Paris is and you’ll get a lot more correct answers.

Americans are renowned, outside of the US, for their myopic view of the world. London/Paris, same thing. So it could easily be viewed that an American would think that Normandy is part of Germany because the author did not specify.

That article is way too long, a simple ‘Don’t unless you are blind and if you are blind don’t because you are blind’ is all it needed to say
