There are many things I like about America, Modern Family / mostly Julia Bowen, Mc Donalds, 1980s cop films, *******, most of Florida and all of Vegas, lots of their music and their cars………….however as much as id like to hoon it around in a Dodge Charger I cant, they just don’t work in suburban England, to big, cant go round corners, to thirsty and all round to showy and a bit 5h1t and it seems all things ‘reeeel estade’ are like the cars, okay there but don’t work here (Remax / Century 21 anyone?) so this wont fly – Jonnie
