MK, I'm proud of your ability to spread what you have learned in the van to the larger world. You called her "creature" and she was OK with it! Gold star

Whoever posted this thread obviously has never driven in Europe.

I've driven in the UK, Canada & a few countries in Europe.

I think mainland Europe standard of driving is better then ours in the UK. I judge it on lane obedience - if your not overtaking move aside!!

Also in Europe we have small winding roads, often have to meet and greet oncoming cars and so i think we are much more aware of the proportions of our cars. Europeans +1

To answer the driving on the wrong side of the road argument. My point is this: 90% of the world write with their right hand. When you go to shift do you want your dominant hand on the steering wheel or on the gear shifter?

I say steering wheel as it needs varying amounts of grip and power while the gear shifter just needs to be placed in 1-6 positions..

European & driving on the left

I guess my point is, Europeans have larger penises.

On my last ED I saw this, which proves my point:

Dude. I'm reading your post and laughing as my wife looks over and goes "what the fuck is that"

Europe - Drivers are crazy, take some serious risks and have serious EGO problems on the road... by default, the better car has to be faster no matter what.

gonna have to put strong emphasis on this and reqoute myself

What violation?

[EL Jeffe 5]

yes they are just the fact streets are more narrow tight spaces all over Europe.

No wives allowed here, and in the case of Lups...no husbands.
