I know we are in the deep south, but this ain’t Texas pal, it’s West Sussex.

I don’t like any part of this. I had the dubious pleasure of driving an Almera recently, I was in it for less than five minutes, but it still left a terrible impression. It was a slightly older one though.

This makes no sense... I love it!

A mate bought one after having a micra. Hated it and replaced with an mx5.

It was genuinely more unpleasant than my mates trashed Micra. Quite the achievement really.

Did you spot the defender?

It wasn’t bad as an appliance. But he wanted more. He forgets he had it.

Even as an appliance they’re a bit weak, since they’re not the most comfortable or cheap to run. They are seemingly pretty reliable at least.

Is country actually popular in the UK?

Yeah, I’d agree, he was 18 and like Nissan’s but couldn’t afford anything RWD. He now has a 3l Z4.

Here’s a crazy tie-in for you: Hank Williams Jr and Sr both recorded famous albums at a studio called...wait for it...the Almeria Club (and the I is basically silent, so it sounds just like the car).

Just struck me as an interesting coincidence. We don’t get the Almera here. Nissan already sells us tons of other mediocre crap.

Don’t understand what driving a datsun has to do with country.....

Fair enough, the Z4 will be much nicer haha.

The Almera died in 2004 if I recall. There wasn’t a direct replacement until the pulsar in 2014. Its not really that popular, it’s crossover cousin the qashqai sells way more and in terms of conventional hatches it doesn’t really have any foothold as it’s a hotly contested segment.

Or what my country has to do with country music.

Surprisingly barely quicker than my GTI. But very nice if you are into them.

Well to be fair the GTI is a pretty quick car...

Ah, yes. Heart FM that bastion of country music.

It’s all about club classics when radio 1 gets bad at 7pm

Radio 1 is alright in the afternoon, very early evening, and then subsequently very late evening. I cannot bloody stand the Breakfast segment. It’s the only time of day when I’d actually opt for no radio at all over R1.

Yes I did. Love that too!

It’s gotta be turbo torque. If I ever man up and use the DSG launch control I reckon I could have him.

My brother was a valet at the Grand Old Opry Hotel about 5 years back. It’s an...interesting place, but the job meant he could send me awesome potato photos of some expensive metal.
