Thumbs up My Holiday in America

Hi guys, after 3 weeks away, I'm back !!!
Missus and I had 3 weeks in America/Canada. What an experience.!!!
Province of Ontario,Canada, no speed cameras. They have a Fast Lane on major motorways. ie you travel at the speed of the car in front of you. I was doing 140km/hr in a Chevvy Montana. Petrol 85cl after aus conversion. Drivers are mad !! just indicate and change lanes, fast !!!.
In America, drove a PT Cruiser, nice car, but gutless !!! needs a V6.
Petrol, 65cl after aus conversion.
Went to the Harley Davidson plant in Pensylvania. That plant is amazing !! a bike rolls of the assembly line every 2 hours. The one assembly line builds bikes for the world, military etc. Workers follow the work order. The top yoke is pressed out of a round steel rod, heated to red hot and pressed with 300 tons of pressure to the flat shape. Watching the robots make parts is amazing.
Request : FORD BRING IN THE LINCOLN !!! IT JUST MIGHT SAVE THE FAIRLANE/LTD. Very impressed with it.
Car prices made me me cry into my JD's. Base Lincoln $29k!!!!!! Top model $40k !!! Buick Lucerne (VE) $20K for Omega, $25K for Berlina !!!
Interest rates from 0% to 5.95% 300C NO deposit, 5.95%..$422 a month !!!
Even allowing the exchange rate, those cars are still cheaper than what we can buy them for here...
If you ever get the chance to go to America..do it !!!
