I wondered how you knew all of those phrases, I thought you'd been watching 'Eastenders' on cable

Both classics, I'm glad the humour translates.

Have you ever lived in England, or visited?

Never lived there, but I have visited before, I DO see why my family mostly moved stateside, it was rather rainy there.

I always think of John Cleese and his remark about the one day holiday called "Summer"

Your absolutley right with the weather thing- Meant to be spring, we had snow last Sunday, lasted two hours, then sun came out

Still, off across the pond to you Guys in two weeks to Florida. Sure I'm guaranteed some sun there surely

I was coming to a stop in my week & 1/2 old 550 today and did not want to stall so I stepped on the clutch to pull it into neutral. The problem is that I no longer have a stick but a SAT. Has anyone else who's made the change accidentally done this??

I done it once on the 545... was sleepy and when I saw the red light instinct was to clutch it... the Cayman is a manual... so I got confused which car I was in.
