I had a coworker I really hated who was from Italy; I would go out of my way to do things like pronounce Milan the British way just to get under her skin.

Ye’, I get riled when someone says Paris is pronounced, ‘Par-I’.

I just reply, ‘I’ll call it Par-I, when you say Lundun instead of Lon-don’.

Americans mispronounce Continental languages out of ignorance, but with the British, I’m convinced that it’s pure spite.

Lol.

‘is no such thing as Americano Intelligence’.

My dad was a bit of a git, and I once asked what a donkey and an elephant had to do with U.S. Politics, ‘he replied one is to do with their size, the other is their intelligence’.

As I say, he was a git, but some were funny moments.

Sometimes it’s spite, most of the time it’s just how we pronounce stuff.

There’s a Milan in the us where they pronounce it ‘My Lan’, but it comes out as my land most of the time. I gave up on what they pronounce place names as versus how they spell it and everyone else spells it.

I need some Superb photos ASAP. Hook a fella up?

There’s a Birmingham, Alabama in the U.S. and Birmingham, England.

The U.S. puts an emphasis on the M making it Bir-ming-Ham. Where as with us it’s Birm-ing-ham or in Birmingham it’s pronounced Burm-ing-um.

Okay, Superb here.

Wet Superb,

Dry Superb,

Some lovely bonnet pivot work.

Some rear action,

The mighty 1.4TSi ACT engine with 148 stallions of thorough breed horse power.

Sumptuous soft leather.

Good selection of switches and dials.

Why have two pedals when you can have three.

Spacious rear legroom.

Some obvious pent up aggression here in Piglet’s face.

Lovely flowing lines and hidden bonnet shuts,

Obligatory cup holders (for the U.S., meh, for everyone else).

Handy umbrellas in the front doors (rear passengers can get their own),

Handy ice scraper in the fuel filler door (only handy when it’s been snowing or very icy though, or cutting lines of cocaine on the boot lid).

Plenty of space in the boot for some car cleaning stuff, the odd cloth or two.

Or few more.

Also comes in shiny too.

:)

One in each front door.

The Mk2 estate we had previously only had one in the left hand side rear door.

I keep going back to watch the car on Youtube. The selling dealership posted a short video to promote the car, two months after she left us.

The Mk1 (VW Passat) had a pocket in the rear doors for the umbrella.

The Superb that’s like porn to me is the Superb 520ps.

I’m not into fast cars but this sleeper is amazing.
