The difference between England and America

I'm not saying there are not places in London with good food but, generally speaking, I found the food flavorless. I do appreciate that there is no open container law. It was a real trip for me to see people drinking beer on the street.

You realize there are no English people in London, right? Nothing but foreigners!

You never get a ticket for speeding on the motorway, as long as you keep it sensible <100mph (limit is 70)

It's called a lock in

All country pubs turn into private party's past 1100 and lock the doors

For me it's the U.S. no corner policy, carbon fibre testicles hanging from towbars and being searched for guns going to a speedway.

So is everyone currently in there allowed to stay or is it more for the regulars?

What's a no corner policy?

Where on earth did you see carbon fiber balls? I haven't seen a set of balls hanging from a truck in years. Never saw them made from CF.

What speedway? I've never been searched going into Daytona, Sebring, Indianapolis, or Homestead anyway.

those truck nuts all over the god damn place here in MD. Especially the closer to WV you get.

Regulars and Americans

The licensing laws have been relaxed

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alco...United_Kingdom

On 10 July 2003 the Licensing Act 2003 was granted Royal Assent and replaced the previous licensing laws for England and Wales, regulated under several different Acts, with a single unified system covering a range of "regulated activities". Rules as to when establishments can open, for how long, and under what criteria are now not laid down in statute but are individual to the premises and are contained in the conditions on each premises licence. The powers of the 2003 Act came fully into force on 24 November 2005.

No corner policy = mainly straight roads - I had to go to dragons tail to get some decent cornering.

Talladega Superspeedway searched the car on the way in. There was also a sign on the inner camping/play field saying no shooting !?

Lots of trucks going into Daytona

hahaha Nascar? That's all you had to say.

Some of the major cities don't have any curved roads. But most everywhere else does. Especially in North Carolina around the tail of the dragon. A few months ago i was on a 1 way offroad trail driving the RR and at the end of it, unbeknownst to me, it spit me out near the top of the dragon. Lowered the ride height, took it out of 4-low and proceeded to embarrass some hondas on the way down.

You must have been here a while ago, no? I live about 150miles from Daytona and i can't remember the last time i saw a set of truck-nuts.
