Believe you me ___ there are certain things you DON'T want to be or admit to If you visit the UK.

You dont admit to being a ******, a tosser or a poofter.....Plus a heck of a lot of more offensive strange English words/expressions .......

America has culture to, don't get me wrong. For example we have........ Wal-marts, McDonalds, Starbucks, NFL, Nascar... Ok we don't really have much of a culture but we sure darn well have a lot of stores and fast food.

They only way Great Britain -related way my car has affected me in is making me prefer their cars over others, mostly styling-wise. I know that most often the equivalent BMW or Audi is the technically superior car, but they just lack both the looks and the sense of occasion.

Swag?
1. an ornamental festoon of flowers, fruit and greenery.
2. money or goods taken by a thief or a burglar.

...or the other swag?

Since buying the Jag-U-arrrrrh, I now announce my daily departure to the local plebs by firing the cannon, winding the union jack down to half mast, all accompanied by a quick blast of god save the queen. Similar in reverse when I return.

Never used to do that with the MX5.
