American Driving in England

[rcfraleigh]

@fdama Actually, I was wrong, but so were you. The Astra that they are in was built at: Bochum, Germany

Antwerp, Belgium

Kaliningrad, Russia

Gliwice, Poland

São Caetano do Sul, Brazil

St. Petersburg, Russia

Zaporizhia, Ukraine

Ellesmere Port, England

Or

6th of October City, Egypt

[nightfrog65]

Does England still use miles per hour to measure vehicle speed?

[Kash1337]

@nightfrog65 yes...

[nihonkokusai]

@nightfrog65 google is your friend. Yes US and UK are the last one in the world I think.

[markinyo76]

The town they are driving through is called Congleton.... I know because I live there :) They're travelling down the A34 from the Manchester side.

[Hayleyscorpio]

Are you driving automatic or manual? and did you find it difficult dirving here :) I cant wait to drive in america :) xx

[ludocrat]

"That's a cute little village we're going through now..."

It's probably Manchester.

[ludocrat]

There are only 1500 castles in England so you'd be lucky to see one on some random A road. And most them aren't even finished yet ;)

Welsh ones are much better :D

[rcfraleigh]

It's a Vauxhall Astra. English brand, but really a rebadged German Opel. It was most likely built in Belgium.

[fdama]

@rcfraleigh Wrong. All Astras are made in Ellesmere Port, UK.

[Poptronic]

"Driving a Vauxhall, which I believe is a very English car, made here in England." LOL, more the only British thing on that car is the emblem. Otherwise you're driving a Chevy.

[MarkMck1994]

@Poptronic What??? Vauxhall Designed the Astra you fucking retard. The same with the Insignia which is a Buick in America... It Might be owned by GM, but its all British designers. (except one, who is German... Do believe his called Hanz Giegimer)

[Poptronic]

@MarkMck1994 Dude relax it was more of a joke. Hate to break it to you though in all seriousness, it's all becoming the same shit. Cars all over are losing their national autonomy with all the mergers and acquisitions. Oh, and the Astra by the way is now a shitty dull Saturn here in the states and there ain't nothing British about it. Open your eyes to the dynamics of the global automotive market and MAYBE you'll get what I was hinting at with that comment.

[MarkMck1994]

@Poptronic I dont care to be honest (not in a rude way)... I just hate it when other people from other Countries mark vehicles as their own countries design... I once had an Argument with someone on a Video of an Aston Martin vs a Bentley and it was some German dude saying they were both German cars.... *facepalm*

[MarkMck1994]

"Still looking for Castles".... your in the wrong place buddy, Scotland is where its at.

[sparkygl0s]

@MarkMck1994

Or the border between England and Wales.

[MarkMck1994]

@sparkygl0s Naw. Scotland, Its world Renowned for its Scenery and Castle background. Never heard anyone say "lets go to the Border of England and Wales and visit Castles".

[sparkygl0s]

@MarkMck1994

There are several famous Norman castles along both sides of the border. e.g. Chepstow, Raglan, Monmouth, Goodrich, Hay-on-Wye, Whitecastle, Skenfrith, Ludlow, Chirk.

[MarkMck1994]

@sparkygl0s Airth, Aldourie, Amhuinnsuidhe, Baltersan, Barcaldine, Barony, Blair, Brodick, Edinburgh, Ballindalloch, Ardvreck, Broughty, Caerlaverock, Affleck, Carsluith, Carrick, Benmore, Comlongon, Craufurdland, Castle Hotel, Blackcraig, Birse.

Thats just some of them that begin with A, B, C.... the list goes on for ages mate.

[sparkygl0s]

@MarkMck1994

I could add to my list as well. I'm not saying you are wrong about Scotland. I'm just saying that the Welsh borders is another place in the UK to view some great castles.

[Chriski1994]

Practically everything over here is built in brick.

[lea1mercian]

Vauxhall is owned by GM now

[buzzin92]

One thing about our brick built houses... If we were to have a strong tornado, they would still stand. Fact.

[AtheistTimmy]

@buzzin92 IS that why even a weak tornado (yes, it was an F1) meant we had to demolish lots of homes in birmingham?

[Owen4004]

its called a motorway LOL

[L365YQ]

got to be Manchester/Liverpool surely

[montg2perfection]

"traffic circles" LOL :D

[xJAKEWx]

vauxhall are australian

[DisgruntledBrit]

@xJAKEWx Vauxhall is a British brand owned by GM. Get your facts right before you post!

[xJAKEWx]

@DisgruntledBrit sorry, i know, im terribly sorry, i always thought they were Australian, feel embarrassed, thanks for telling

[DisgruntledBrit]

@xJAKEWx Don't feel that way, it's the internet, it's not a big deal! I imagine you were thinking of Holden who are an Australian brand also owned by GM. GM tend to re-badge Opel cars into Vauxhall for the UK and Holden for Australia.

[arKat17]

He's in England but we're all listening to the same music over the radio, eh?

[dtvfan15]

Love Galaxy :)

[dtvfan15]

Nice video and motorway= freeway

[mrtulala1]

As English as it may sound, Vauxhall has been owned by General Motors for over 80 years.

[laurencec09]

wood burns if there is a fire.......

brick doesn't...

that's why

[TheRushingWind]

You might find the "freeway" quicker if you look for the motorway instead :)

[Alpacajon]

TRAFFIC CIRCLES HAHA Nice

[TheRushingWind]

@Alpacajon maybe that's what they call them in America

[xtinkerbell91x]

haha but when you said 'traffic circles' i had to laugh, there roundabouts!

[schmeeling]

@xtinkerbell91x lol I didn't even realise that's what he meant!

[niekalee305]

LOl..."Run outta brick". One of my dream places to live. ENGLAND

[niekalee305]

LOl..."Run outta brick".

[nostalgiamelancolia1]

I just quite don't understand why most people choose to live in the big cities rather than living in the countryside.I enjoy life in the countryside because of its peace and quiet while I dislike living in the big cities because of its crime,pollution and quick pace of life.I'm too boring and perhaps this is why I prefer country life to city life.

[Shellb08]

@nostalgiamelancolia1 im so with you there i live in the country and i would never think about moving to the city unless i really had to!

[TheRushingWind]

@nostalgiamelancolia1 I do, having grown up in cities - there's much more to do (unless you know a lot of people, then you can make your own fun - but the countryside is so isolated that it's hard to do that). I do love the fresh air you get in less built-up areas though. I have a nasal problem that seems to only happen in polluted cities.

[LolFishFail]

We used Brick to build our houses so that the wind doesn't blow them away. You get the slightest gale in one of those southern american counties and there's half a farm flying passed your car. As seen on the discovery channel xD

:P

[carocarotho]

@LolFishFail I Think Wood Cladding Looks Nicer Than Brick

[LolFishFail]

@carocarotho I think would looks cheap :D and cold.

[carocarotho]

Not Really Cold, I Live In A Wooden Framed House And It Isn't Cold Even In Winter, Anyway Nowadays New Developments In The US Have Brick Frames And Cosmetic Wooden Cladding So They Fit In With The Older Buildings - This Is Called Conservation. For Example, Where I Currently Reside, The City Governs Building Styles In Certain Areas. So That Ridiculous Condo Complexes Aren't Built Near Colonial Conserves

[LolFishFail]

@carocarotho That's pretty interesting :D

[cuno858]

At least all the signs are in miles, yards, feet, inches, etc (the only other country besides the US to use this still). That helps! LOL!

[fujitsulifebooke342]

A vauxhall is just an opel with a different name and badge =) and they are owned by GM
