Update from the UK...

[excelguru]

As you may know, I'm currently in Cheltenham, England for business reasons. Just thought I would show you a few of the cars I've seen around here...

This is what I would call a sub micro mini economy compact.

This is what I would call another freaking mortgage. Veeeeery sweet.

I spoke at length with the owner (owning a Cobra is a great ice-breaker with other car guys) and he let me check out his ride... V-12, paddle-shifters, over 200 mph top speed, totally bad-ass. We're planning to get together next week (if schedules allow) and he'll take me for a spin. You'll notice that this defective model had the steering wheel inexplicably installed on the WRONG SIDE!!!

Hmmm... should I buy a car or ten rental houses? Car? Houses? Car? Houses? Tough decision. I have since been informed that there's just a wee tad bit of old money in this small town (gee, you don't say!).

And this was a pretty cool-looking ride. It's called a Vauxhall (VOX-hall) or something like that.

That's all for now. Still can't get used to this left side of the road thing. Totally screwed up. Gotta run.

Looks like fun, with some interesting and nice looking rides. Just start saving those euro's, or pounds, or whatever it is they use over there now :D

I thought you said that you were in the UK for business reasons? I want to be in your line of work!

Just kidding, those are all sweet rides. I saw an Aston at the SAAC show in Vegas and it was drawing stares in a parking lot of Shelby machines. I hope you get that ride after all.
