You're right, too many metric and imperial units going on in my confused head since moving here...

So it's 59p per liter

Both interesting cars! Crown has ridiculous road presence and everyone moves out of the way but s2k is just pure driving fun.

Imagine an extendable car aerial, but shorter and it comes out of the corner of your bumper, inside the 'aerial' is a fiber optic cord carrying light to a glass/crystal nub on the end, so you can better judge where the corner of your car is for parking. I think they are pretty much a Japan only thing.

Incredible, never heard of such things. You could put a flag on that badboy and feel very presidential.

I could, but it is slightly broken currently. Half of it is indoors, the rest of it is dangling uselessly inside the bumper. When I press the button the relay clicks but thats it.
