    Where did you get that idea from anything that anyone posted?

    If the difference between a Elantra (midsized) and a Maxima (Premium) is just £22, then I'd take the Maxima in a heartbeat.

    Lifey said that in Centrailia they will tell you where to go.

    I make it a point of wherever I travel to speak with the locals, rather than get my imformation from the internet or books. The locals know better than anyone where to go to see/do what you are interested in. I never plan all these things before my trip.

    Very rarely have I received anything other than a warm welcome.

    Default To Quote George Bernard Shaw (or Oscar Wilde or Winston Churchill)

    "America and Britain are two countries separated by a common language." This is only compounded by the facts that 1) 'Telling someone where to go' can be polite when taken literally, and as terribly impolite when said with a certain tone of voice. Unfortunately the printed word does not convey tone of voice. and 2) We have an Aussie talking to a Brit on an American website.

    AZBuck, thanks for the big chuckle. After the day I had at work, a big laugh is something that was the best medicine! But it is so, so very true, what you have said!
