    Top Gear and Fifth Gear are by far some of the finest gear head programs out there. The three on Top Gear are like guys that never grew up, They have more fun then the law allows.

    Anyway, parking. There is one difference between parking there and here. Discipline and courtesy. We lack it here. Sorry if this offends any of my Yankee brothers and sisters, but unless you have lived elsewhere, you wouldn't understand.
    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

    ROWHARD--- You're absolutely right about people in the USA lacking discipline and courtesy. That's why I carry a baseball bat to instill discipline and demand courtesy. "AIM HIGH"!!!

    I was trying to find the other 'parking spaces' thread from about a year ago. I think etlsport started it. I can't find it tho. Anyone know what happened to it?

    If you guys need to prove that theory please come to NYC,you'll not be dissapointed.

    Here things are so much outer control that if you have the right-of-way you better stop right there or accidents shall happen,drivers cut you off on the spot,no signal warn you where the hell the driver's heading to,head lights are off during night time,60% of them drives with one or more broken light bulbs,free hands cell phone law doesn't apply here,bikers rides agains the traffic flaw;Traffic red light is just a reason to race thru it & double parking is just about your convinience.

    You politely complain to another drive about its bad driving behavior & please expect a F there & a F there for answer ending with a classic : mind your own F..... business

    Yeah it's the great apple !
    Dakar was just the begining.

    Great! Hope we can grow coffee there. Plus I used to be a worm farmer. "We now return control of this thread back to the Forum users."
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"

    I've driven in both, and yes it is. But the triple parking in Rome takes the cake.
