I hate that expression: 'the liberals' - it's almost (no, not almost, is) implying that unless you agree with everything the government says, you're a wet-bag, unpatriotic, commie 'faggot'.
I'm with coventry, big cars in the UK are all-but pointless - we simply don't have the space. It's so much easier to get round people in an Elise or 7 in England becuse of the size of our roads. Have you been to England JCP? And, just to be clear, I'm not being facetious - it's a genuine question.
