    Greetings from Montreal! It was a fairly nightmarish and boring ride.

    Well, I am in Scotland now! So many strange looking cars everywhere. We have a diesel Insignia.

    Post a review of the car!
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    I just took it out for a very brief spin. I have not driven in Scotland since before I was legally able to drive. I dunno if I have ever written a proper review before.

    I was more just focused on staying on the left and placing my front left wheel. It is very odd to be on the wrong side of the road.

    So far, I felt that the steering was nicely weighted. The diesel engine pulled well enough and the gearbox seemed to kick down faster than our old shitty golf. I am going to have to drive a bit more to get used to it. Huh, it's also going to be funny being on European time on UCP.

    I met an ugly Englishman(?) at some hill climb in some rainy country today.

    Mistakenly referred to America/American twice ( and then a few dozen deliberately )
    Made the mistake of saying to Cameron that for revenge call a Scot, English !!
    Good banter for rest of day concluding in conversation in bar with me pointing out every word said with clearly Canadian intonation !!!

    You had a conversation in a bar? At what point was a translator required?
    Life's too short to drive bad cars.

    That would have been one more fun thing we coulda done; gotten pissed and talked cars!

    I suppose next time I am over we will have to get tanked. Maybe my old man will join us as well.
