Have you ever traveled abroad much.... if you haven't do it... then tell me you want to move away from America. Other countries are great to visit, but I wouldn't live anywhwere elst... once you leave you realize how great we have it here. Yes we have lots of stupid people etc, but everywhere does. America is just fairly large so we have more stupid people on the whole.

So is america.... travel to the four corners of our country... it's completely different in each area.

No I've never been to Europe, but most of my friends that have been loved the trip, but are happy to live in the USA.

In England is the "car scene" more about racing or looks?

Actually, I wanted to move after I travelled abroad. Obviously, we had very different experiences. To me the biggest obstacle in moving is language and possibly racism depending on how homogenous the country is.

Both, the major is bodywork modifications. There are cars now i wouldn't recognise, they have so many other car parts on them.

But.....

Whenever there is open days at Drag ciruits, you can always bet its going to be busy. We've got a lot of pretty quick cars starting to be built, but its where you can use them. We haven't got the space like you lot have, coppers every bloody x amount of miles, plus the fact we have so many speed cameras, camersa facing you, camera behined you, mobile unit, cameras that take two shots and work out the average speed etc.... The uk is shite, our roads our shite, our whole country is shite.

Sure, there are some nice countries about, but living in the UK is SO expensive..

I.e to buy a house, first time buyers are having a mare at the moment. Finding a small 2 bedroom house, (and i do mean small) and your looking at £100,000 (About $200,000). A medium 3 bedroom house, with 1 garage, your looking at about £500,000. Our tax is 17.5% on everything etc.

Plus our weather sucks like a korean whoare! RThink it was reading -1.5 last night

House prices sound like the prices in San Diego... haha

I would venture to guess that you and your bird aren't doing to bad though if she can afford £35,000 of mods to her car...

I'm going to assume that temperature is in Celsius?
