I’ll go through this step by step.:

Oh come on... the handbrake one is the lazy teacher way. Look at these kids, they don’t have 3 feet but they can still do a hill start without the handbrake. If you practice it a bit, in a month or two you’ll be able to start without even rolling an inch backwards.

Isn’t having a sensor good enough? My car tells me when a light bulb is not working. It removes the hassle of doing it on pre-trip check.

If you’ve seen Top Gear hot laps you can see that EU cars are starting to adopt the brake lights flickering when slamming on the brake.

Why do people do that? Handbrake for a hill start? Can’t really get it. It’s simple, Clutch up, gas down, scissor action.

With the current revival of muscle cars who wouldn’t like an AMC Javelin?

This is becoming pretty much the norm in the EU and I love it.

I’m actually happy for the EU version of that program. It removed enough death-traps from the roads that it was worth it only for the human “cost”. If you factor in the removal of old, non-Euro cars it’s even better.

Tears: 5$ a gallon.

A NASCAR car couldn’t turn right. Who’d’a’ thunk it?

A large farm and an Ariel Nomad might even be better than sex.

You know, now I really do regret that slapping someone on the back of the head can be considered “assault”. The BMW driver deserves what’s coming to him. The truck driver will most likely just get a fine for improper parking which is pretty much what I would pay for the opportunity to piss off an asshat.

They do want to sell it in Europe as well, that’s why it has a manual. :P

1st: Donny Crane.

You’d most likely want to omit that. :D

The price is a bit steep for RHD car. And this is coming from a Peugeot owner/driver. (sadly not a 205, but a 207). I do like the description of the ad, but I’d rather see in in person.

The previous gen Suzuki Swift. Nifty little crapbox. Awesome for hill events.

“and those who don’t” - you see Doug, after a certain age people start to care more about their remaining neurons and would rather not use them on every single electrical problem on a Brittish car.

Aluminum gear knob is cool, except during the summer. Then, you’ll be the knob.

Those are not always for yourself. Dirty headlamps with may produce a rather annoying (high-beam like) glare for the other drivers. Think refraction index and stuff like that.
