That must be why merkins are so keen to own English cars.

Last time I was in the States, over a dozen years ago even, I was *so*
disappointed not to see any of the great classic gas-guzzlers on the
roads. Everyone seemed to be driving small Jap cars and it's probably
even worse today with these stupid little Prius things that douchebags
like Brian Griffin drives.
You still see them on the road on sunny summer weekends and evenings
when the rich boys get to play with their toys.

Can't afford to drive them as daily drivers and risk damaging them. I
was also dissapointed when traveling in Europe 10 or 15 years ago to
not see a single Mk1 Mini, early Beetle - or even VW1500 Variants, or
Bay window busses - no R4 or even R5 Renaults. No 128 Fiats, no A35s.
No Devons or Cambridges. No R12 or R16s. No Peugot 404, 304, etc. I
saw ONE 204 wagon rusting away in a side-yard on Madiera and a Robin
somewhere in the Canary Islands.

The only thing over 20 years old in NMorrocco were the ancient French
trucks

You want to see old American Iron in daily use go to Cuba.

That beautifull 55 Chevy may very well have a 1.5 liter Lada diesel in
it - or an old Mercedes but it still LOOKS like American Iron.
