Yes, dreadful. And most of them are in the worst of shapes since their drivers are either 16 or just as mentally mature.

They’re horrible death traps with idiots at the wheel who’re too thick to get a licence - no moped licence in France. Some inadvertently take them in the motorway sometimes and mayhem is the result...

Just come to France, there are really quite a lot of them all year round.

I wish it was all true but having lived here all my life, this is rainbows and unicorns. The population doesn’t renew their cars as quickly as they would elsewhere, leasing isn’t that big. In France the current average age of cars in use is 14 years. So Diesel it will be for a while. And you mention the supercharger…

Come live in France. We have so many diesel crapcans here that you’ll wonder why the forests don’t also small like cancer. Diesel cars are the plague.

Not in Europe. Tesla’s are currently too big, there is no supercharging infrastructure, and gas has always been more expensive, so people buy diesels. The image of the fuel has deteriorated, but it’s still the cheapest in most European countries. Overall, this isn’t going to work as Europe is a damn complicated…

This is bollocks, for many reasons. First it’s unrealistic to aim for this in such a short period for Germany alone, given the amount of local manufacturers and the weight their lobbying will carry. Also, locally, people love the fossil burning autobahn rockets. Now outside of Germany, within the EU, there are a few…

I agree. I’ve seen some of the other stuff she did, and you’re right, it’s mostly the acting. When she’s in a car she’s more natural. I don’t mind her being on the show, much more than Evans who’s just being weird.

The worst thing is, I really like her.

That was a good time to own a console.

Schmitz was indeed disappointing in that area. Her English is insufficient for this kind of job.

That is spot on. Most of the Evans stuff was so forced, either to be completely different from the previous trio of hosts with obvious in your face references that were painful to watch. From episode three LeBlanc was natural at interacting with Harris and Reid, though Schmitz botched her With announcement so badly it…

The only Lamborghini owner that I personally know is a woman.

My three year old has seen Totoro, The Cat Returns, Kiki and Ponyo, all in Japanese, at an age when language didn’t matter. She’s seen Totoro and The Cat Returns so many times now that I can guess the part of the movie exactly by only hearing some dialogue (Japanese, which I only faintly understand). Excellent…

I remember being 4 with my mom in Spain, and a very pretentious friend of hers owning one of these, proud that it was “Russian”. My mom recently told me me again how I was completely unimpressed.

They could’ve called it the Karma Coma... :)

Bravo, j’adore. Pour avoir été passager dans une de ces Suzuki avec un conducteur pour lequel j’ai inventé le terme “genkisugiru”, j’approuve l’article dans son ensemble.

And that.

This.

I’m puffing to avoid waking my wife.
