Thanks, I do love being in my garage. As for the green machine on the lift, it's the one everyone over here walks away from as if in disgust when they find out it has a 4 cyl. Yes, it's an Alpine. Never wanted the one they cutting torched and stuffed the V-8 in. Though they are worth more dough.

If you like offroading, generally larger homes/properties, vast miles of roads or you're into guns, America's the place to be. If you like cars in large varieties, or if you like being around people that understand a cars handling is as important as it's acceleration and braking then maybe you're better off where you are. Here it's all about hot rods and muscle cars (I should hope to shout) and people that slow down for the most gentle of motorway bends. Oh, and most people here think everything was developed first by Americans. It's Ridiculous.

Arrange to be here when your wife gives birth and you're in. It's surprising how many manage to use that method. There are other methods I'm sure as we hear story after story of how many do not go through the official channels to become citizens. One thing's for sure though, it's nothing like New Zealand or Australia.
