I've started considering what car to buy in Europe, if/when I return there. With gas at $5 a gallon, the Mountaineer just isn't viable, besides which, if I'm living in either Britain or Ireland, then the steering wheel will be on the wrong side!

I'm seriously considering the New Mini. It's a revamped version of that classic British car, this time, made by BMW. I'll talk more about it another time, but I wanted to share a link with you that made me laugh so hard, I had tears in my eyes. It's almost Pythonesque in its humour.

You'll need Flash and either Windows Media player or Quicktime to see it. Then again, it's a car manufacturer website, and we all know just how over zealous they are about producing resource hungry webpages.

Go here and click on either 'Low' or 'High' according to your bandwidth preference. It's essential you have sound (ie. speakers or headphones.)

The other adverts on the site are OK, but this one is the funny one.
