Another good point :
HUMOR : it's not a myth, most english people I've met have a very developped sense of it... and Alan Partrige (sp?) is good, not no mention Ali G.
ELEGANCE : english people dress up very well, for the majority of them. (I'll exclude from that group the East-end or Essex girls, with adidas track suits and 15 layers of make up)
a bad one :
QUEUEING : why do they love to queue? From cash machines to clubs to right turns at red lights, an Englishman wo will see more than 2 people in a line will immediatly join them, without checking if there is any way to avoid this!

I've faced the horrible trade off:
- Get there for 9am, and face the horrenous A5 morning traffic.
- Get there a little later, probably get caught on the A5 anyway, and miss some S2000 time.
Anyone want's I'll be sat in a white ITR on the A5's daily traffic jam
It's really not the kind of miles I want to say goodbye to the ITR with, so I'm going for another blast tonight!

Sunset tomorrow will be nice except that I'll be in Vtec withdrawl...
I'm sure the only thing that can make an S2000 sound like a diesel is running in revs after redlining an ITR, which is what I've got....
Oh, the pleasure and the pain....

S2000
ITR, 1998 UK spec, full lightweight.
(maybe even get the old girl back, sob. One of the very few full lightweight ones.... sniff.)NSX, Manual, fixed roof.
Then I've all bases covered
If you haven't had the full on ITR experience and you get the chance I'd really recommend it. They are truly incredible cars.

Oi Lee Carr, you're bang outta order!
Remember, we've now got some clapped out fausse-blonde called Catherine Deneuve advertising how shit some shampoo makes your hair look. Belle de Jour my arse! I rest my case.
Having said that, you're right about the radio and the restaurants.
Since we have the best music and choice of food, it is amazing we fail to serve either.
