Fair enough, I'd rather you continued to use your real username though. You have to realise that 95% of the banter that goes on here is meant to be friendly. The other 5% can get out of hand and should be reported to a moderator if it insults you.

We get our stereotypes from three main sources:

1. American film and TV
2. Reading it on the Internet
3. By making it up, just like we do for the French, Germans, Australians etc...

Oh right sorry, I thought you'd have registered ages ago when you started reading the forums. I understand now.

I loved Snatch, Lock, stock and two smoking barrels and Mean Machine. I love the brits and their cars, why do I have to be a "yank"?
I have to side with Jennifer on this one, she is my customer ya know!!! I mean come on, we don't bash any of you limee's on any of the boards! Just kidding, we cannot wait for the finest of British exports to hit American soil as it is long awaited.
As for the guys down in Florida, it was an Exige that they crashed. They got arrested when the JACKASSES tried to claim it on their insurance. I will let you bash them for that for sure. I guess the story goes that they piled it up in a turn meeting a light pole almost head on.
As for our laws, I have seen some pretty intersting police chases on the "telly" from the U.K. and those offenders could be easily classified!
Can't we all just get along!
I hope everyone is having a great day and please contact me with any questions.

Thank you,

I dislike 'yank bashing' it's so passe' but us limeys have a destructive sense of humour that is easily mistaken so try not to take things too seriously.

Well I'll be damned! I log on to rile the limeys and run into yankee Chris! I'd post more but I have to run up to McDonalds and pick up a quarterpounder with cheese in my automatic transmission SUV. GOD LOVE AMERICA.

NOT!

Nice to see you here Chris.

Jenn,

Why are you getting TWO Elises? Track/Road use, or just one for when the other's broken down? Not that I'm saying having two is a bad thing of course!

And will you change your username from OneFastMiata to TwoFastElises?

Well, I originally was concerned with only one ( MINE!!!) but theres another enthusiast in my household that has decided he wants an Elise and its odd happenstance that I have 2 slots on the "LIST"...so it worked out kind of nifty. Thanks to ChrisofAtlanta, Ive got a nice top 5 slot on the list..and look forward to this time next year.

I actually have 3 fast miatas, two turbo and one V8, but ThreeFastMiatas sounds kinda corny.


I sure hope they dont break down much, ive been spoiled by miatas which are pretty much bullet proof.
