    Numbnuts, Gas station cashier!

    So there's a Petrol station near me which is right next to a Supercar dealership. I pull into the Gas station (as you guys say) and fill the car up, I walk into the shop and pay for my fuel, 'Nice car mate' the cashier says. 'What is it a Nissan?'

    I stood there dumbfounded! How the hell do you reply to a question like that!

    It's probably because of all the decals.

    That's Mr Numbnuts to you. He controls the petrol, he controls all the power. We have deputized an army of minimum wage soldiers.

    At least they didn't TELL YOU what it was (I've been "corrected" a number of times about the car I am driving but they have never seen in person) or think it's a vette.

    Yes, btw why do you have so many decals on your car?? Are you trying to hide some shoddy paintwork ; )

    I like to think of the stickers as Stone Chip protection

    It's cause he wishes he had a fast and furious car, but his was as close as he could get.

    By the way, can you import any American car you want and the steering wheel on the wrong side is not a problem? I know they don't like the GEN IV ACR front canards because of pedestrian safety but I've never heard of the steering wheel being an issue

    None of it is a Problem, if you think about it there are loads of LHD cars and Trucks in the UK now as all the Europeans bring their cars with them and of course all the trucks from eastern europe delivering goods to eastern europeans who have set up in the UK.

    As a former gas station attendant, it was the highlight of my day to f*ck with guys and their fancy cars....because i knew how much it would rile them up and ruin their day.

    That makes sense. So the biggest issue is import taxes then? They are pretty brutal, right?

    Brutal if I try to buy anything from the USA or a non EU country. We also get charged a Post office handling fee too just to shaft us a bit more!

    No idea how its going to work out when we finally go it alone, I'm really hoping the a lot of people here will bugger off back to the Eu and we can take back control of our borders and strike up a much better trade deal between Us and the USA, Canada.
