1.3 litre vs 4.6 litre

[jdando]

Hey Guys;

just a quick note from over the pond. I have been driving on the wrong side of the road for six days :eek: Only one minor incident.

My rental is some sort of Hyundia wagon with a 1.3 litre automatic. Needless to say with four people and a minor hill this thing can not get out of its own way.:mad:

Gas is about $8-9 a gallon:eek::eek:

Got a few pics in the gallery, more to follow when I get home.

Looks like smashing good weather there!

I had a Renault Laguna with a 1.9dci, 5speed, it put out 110hp, it was no slouch, but loaded with 4 people it was not a happy camper in the mountains....sluggo the wunder car.

I guess after paying that much for gas er, petrol, $3 a gallon isn't something that is so terrible... :depress:

A visit to the "Tower of London" is not to be missed.

Wait for the "Beefeater" (Ex UK military) to to give the story on the Tower.

"And the axman began chopping with blood flicking and spurting...."

My kids loved it.

Ughh, come to think of it, maybe I should lock my bedroom door at night...

Just put a few more car pictures in the gallery. The only reason the cars look big is that I was standing close to them :)
