I drove a hired Seicento poverty model from Amsterdam to Brussels a few

years ago. Thrashed it to within an inch of its life all the way there, and

just sat at, um, 90ish all the way back.



Cost me the equivalent of £14.00 in fuel to do something daft like 500 km.



Comfier than the train though.

Author: bobcgausa

All vehicles should have embedded electronic tags that can be read at a distance equal to opposite lane separation on a divided interstate.
PS: license plates are a separate issue
