RE: Not Before Time
That's fine for there...you have no place to go. I can drive from London to John O'Groats in less time than it takes to drive from border to border in the state I live in (Colorado). Heck, the "M's" are so plugged in the greater London area, no need to go over 35 mph - although I must admit I enjoy the speed and courtesy of the "M's" when out of the city areas. The two geographic areas and transportation needs are so dissimilar that there is no comparison. Obviously you've spent no time here. I don't mind small and slow there because that's all that's needed - especially on the single tracks I spend a great deal of time on. It's a completely different story here. Lockstep blind idealism vs. practicality and reality are so far apart this case. I must admit though, if we were allowed to have the diesel technologies here that you have there (the environazis won't allow it) - I'd love it. I'd take the power and economy of a 4 door turbodiesel Ford Ranger pickup or most any of the turbodiesel automobiles anytime! But....we're not allowed.
