Default Vehicle culture shock.!

So,i recently returned to the UK.
Im absolutely gobsmacked with the variance of models on the road here!!!

Ford are well catered for with mondeo,focus,kuga,fiesta.Not a falcon or larger car to be seen [as in Aus size].Although i did see a Statesman near Heathrow.

Most drive these small cars, especialy the Ford KA...........single egg carton,very hard to get in/out off....lol.

Fuel here is 1.45 pound/litre ..which is very pricey./[$3.48 p/litre]

Roads are busy ,even here in the West Country.

The smaller the car ,the cheaper the road tax[rego],plus these mot[roadworthys]yearly keep the crap cars off the road.... .

Like i said "Culture Shock!"
