It's times like these I realise why I can't watch Top Gear in spite of most people saying it's a great show, even for non car lovers. It's because I find car fetishisation, and VICARIOUS car fetishisation in particular, slightly ridiculous. I guess it's just not for me, though I'm glad so many people find enjoyment in it!!
Also, if they can't understand the Paris Metro system there is no hope at all for them, it's fantastically intuitive

Weeeeeeeeeeeell, there is that bit about directions only being indicated by the name of the last stop on the line; if you don't know that
Porte de la Chapelle is in the North and
Mairie d'Issy is in the South you
will have to take time to stop and look at a map of the Metro like... uh, like a TOURIST!!! :eek:
The London Tube's
Northbound/ Southbound signs are much more intuitive there, imho (then again, half the time I seem to want to be going North, but all there is is
Westbound and
Eastbound :erg: ).
Otherwise though, yeah, (

It's a very attractive car. It's possibly one of the prettiest cars there is, but it's not for girls. Sorry ladies, but it's not. I mean, look at it. Huge, curvaceous, haunches which mean serious business covering grippy 275/35 R19 tyres which just about keep it tethered to the road. In what I'm sure Aston don't describe as metallic battleship grey you can park it next to a Ferrari and suddenly the Italian Horses look like they're made from red polypropylene that may blow away in the wind. It is an object of unbridled joy to be ogled and driven hard.
Pfff whatever I would drive that thing SEXY :cool:
