Mclarenite checking in. In 2010 my husband was the one who launched our new car online. He spent SO much time with Jensen and Lweis, the git.
We loved Mclaren anywhore but that was awesome.
It's on at such silly oclockies, I can barely watch. When we were living in Amsterdam we'd take over a room in an Aussie bar and watch it every Sunday it was on.

I often question why I post on a forum created by a guy that hasn't seen In Bruges.
Alfa Romeo returns to F1 with Sauber
"The Sauber F1 Team has signed a multi-year technical and commercial agreement with Alfa Romeo, returning the Italian car manufacturer to Formula 1 after an absence of over 30 years."
Good to see one of my favorite cars return.

Yeah that's something to look forward to. Hang on, when did Fiat turn into Fiat Chrysler?
Yeah since I've seen more Fiats on the road and even an occasional Alfa Romeo, which was always rare here in midwest.
Can't remember the last time I saw an Alfa, they're beautiful cars. Temperamental but beautiful..
Yes, they may not be the most reliable cars but they have a style, and you see it has seeped over into the Chryslers as well. One of my first cars was an Alfa Romeo, loved that thing. My actual first was a FIAT, hated that thing. But I am glad to see them coming to the US, slowly but surely I hope.
I don't know about that, I kind of like them staying where they are thanks. There's something nice about when I go back to the UK and seeing new Peugot, Renault, etc cars I've not seen before.
Well, from a US persepective, it is nice to have variety, as most Amercian brands are shit anyways. Can't all have that Subaru money amirite

I bought a spankers Ford Fusion when I first moved here (which, touch wood I've only pranged twice and still runs like a dream) and had to be hushed up for starting to argue with the dealer that Henry Ford was British.Well, from a US persepective, it is nice to have variety, as most Amercian brands are shit anyways.

Fords are the better US cars for sure. Had a Ranger that wouldn't die. I'll stick with Asian for now.
I've just done a rundown and I've not actually owned that many cars, most were lease or company cars. Wouldn't take it on long journeys but I really do think my Cooper S is my favourite and it only cost like 8kish with all tax and paperwork done. Nearly was a Fiat 500, conversely.
It's a 2009 though so it's knocking on a bit.
Almost bought a mini Cooper last summer. Fun drive, I would've love having stick shift again, but fell for the Honda. and 4 wheel drive. Because winters.
You can rag the crap out of them, I had a standard Cooper crop top in Europe and it just stuck to the road no matter what roundabouts you floored. I ended up buying it out of its lease and selling it for 500 Euros before moving here. The crop top didn't work anymore and I'd reversed into something so its butt was a bit pushed in but it drove me from Amsterdam to Tuscany and back with only one puncture so it was heartbreaking letting it go.
I think I'll even have to ditch the Fusion for a rental if I go up to Yosemite, a GF and her family got stuck for hours ad nearly didn't make it there for Christmas. Literally 14 hours and she only lives in San Francisco.
Which Honda? My friend was raving on FB yesterday her new one did 400 miles on one tank.
Got a CRV. All the bells and whistles. I have had Honda before in Europe and was best car then, so the less adventurous part of me went for the CRV with seat warmers lol. I am getting fucking soft.
Nearly cried when my company Golf went back with the seat warmers. Had a Saab lease though and it didn't have them, they were the bastards to bring them out in the first place.
It's a newish CRV?
This is what I was saying about temperament!
