Something tells me that no matter how many maps you follow, you will somehow end up on a gravel road. You seem instinctively drawn to them.

cheers,
Matt

I just got back from London. The UK is an awesome place and this is probably the best time of the year to see it. Have a blast and don't forget to have some Smithwicks.

well Christina nad i just got back last night.
the trip was a blast. driving on the wrong side of the road was great. i adapted right away and was passing cars in no time.
drove a manual (of corse) Mitsubishi Colt 1.1 liter around. put lots of miles on it. only found one dirt road that wasn't gated off. but got it covered with plenty of sheep and cow ****.

drank nothing but guinness most of the time and don't care to have another beer till the next time i return there. i'm more of a wine guy.

will be posting my vacation journals. hope you take the time to read them.

no, there was a few real nice ones. A few clean STi's and a butt load of RS Turbos. All most all were blue with gold wheels.

saw one completely rallied out with WRC rally graffic package.
very nice.
most of the subies weren't the ricers. but there were a few.

OMG i saw this one MR2 and a 206 that were so friggin tacky. i couldn't do anything but laugh.

Hey Rich,

Whad'ya think of the roundabouts?

I had the left-side-driving thing down in about half an hour...
roundabouts took a couple days to get comfortable with.

Welcome back,
Mike
