When you go South traffic is nothing less then chaos.
In the North (so that's Genova as well) traffic became much more organised since they got new traffic laws.
Down South they don't seem to care much about the laws.

[/quote]Hey guys,
I'm not crazy. I didn't park the car on the pedestrian way, I just left it there the time to snap two shots and then put it in the garage (the garage is underground, straight ahed of the pedestrian way). There is also a car-wash service, so a lot of cars cross those "zebra stripes" every day. I'm quite careful about parking in my town because the police is veeery seriuos about that; think that in January they removed my Land Rover because somebody complained it was parked too close to a turn and it costed me over 250,00 USD of fee and removal costs!

I am really envious of you guys in Europe.? Such beautiful and clean surroundings.? I believe the air there is also fresh and cool too?? Great for the family.
Really nice ride you've got there.? We don't have diesels in Singapore; only petrol versions as our government forbids privately owned vehicles.? There is a misconception that diesel is dirty and contributes to pollution - pure rubbish.

not all of Europe is so clean and nice. Even in my hometown, which has, as you can see, some beautiful areas, shares its own part of really ugly industrial or former industrial areas. There are people that are not so lucky to live by the sea, with palms, parks, tennis clubs, beaches and pedestrain areas everywhere. And some metropolitan areas in the south are so overcrowded that the population density is close to Hong Kong!

Congratulations Lucky!
Nice choice.
Enjoy the ride.
By the way, do you know a small town called Brusnengo around 100km's from Milan?

[/quote]Ok, I saw it. It's a small village in the Alps, not far away from the Swiss border and to the north-west of Milano. Do you have relatives there?

And what drives me nuts about it is that the car manufacturers could build Diesels that are not worse than petrol engines. But they won't...

Iceman,
Why is the diesel dirty? From what I've heard they are cleaner than petrol engines. Much less CO2 and with the Particle filter there should be almost no particles.
