Default CSV8 is Back!!!

Hi..after 5 weeks overseas, I am back..back to work!!! @#%&!!!
Cars I had overseas, America, Impala LS..not bad.
Ireland. Opel Zafira.. POS!!!
England. Audi A4 2.0 TD. very very nice !!! handles, brakes and goes well, changed my opinion of diesels. Wouldn't be on my shopping list..too small for my everyday needs.
Cousins in Canada..Ford Explorer LTD..geekmobile!!!
Cousins in England..BMW M5 with M5 Sports Pack!!! leaving lights its like the Starship Enterprise engaging warp drive!!! awesome set of wheels!!!!
Petrol in America was around $4 a gallon. Ireland and Britain around $8 a gallon!!! 1 pound 40p a litre!!.
Guinness Brewery, Jameson Whisky Experience in Dublin..great. Dublin has 700 pubs!!!
Scotland..Whisky Experience is great !! they have 3840 bottles of whisky on display. I did the tour and at the end you get to taste 4 different whiskies. Speyside, Highland, Lowland and Isle of Islay whiskies. 30ml shots.
Music side, I did a private Beatles tour of Liverpool, The Beatles Experience and Old Trafford.
London..The Rock and Roll Tour fantastic!! London Eye is a must do !! Tower of London is unreal..the armourer is educational..how they handled the lances and swords is interesting!! people were smaller then, too,
There are lots of the new Fiestas and Focus in America, Canada and England.
English Focus have badging on the tailgate.
Ford needs to get KUGA here..ASAP!! cool looking car.
So, now its a reality check and back to work!!!!
