    Yep, can't argue with that. All it needs in a Union Jack, and a monocle. Also "God Save the Queen" should be played on the radio nonstop.

    Holden don't exist in Europe either so you might want to rethink that question.

    GM in Europe sell under the Opel brand and in UK Vauxhall. No US models are sold in Europe. The only one that is sold in both is the Opel Insignia which is rebranded in the states as a Buick Regal.

    Chevrolet as a brand don't operate here. Holden are Australian. Holden also don't sell Chevrolet models, they sell opels and their own models.

    Well, some Holdens were sold as Vauxhalls in the UK. No Opel equivalent of the Monaro or the Maloo.

    Actually, a few more Opel/Vauxhall cars are over here in the states as Buicks. The Buick Cascada, Buick Verano, and the Buick Encore are all sold as Opels or Vauxhalls. Chevrolet sells the Holden Caprice as a Chevrolet Cparice PPV for police use only. Chevrolet also sells/sold the Holden Monaro (I think) as the Chevrolet SS.

    I want to move up north, everything is too congested and in the way, and feisty in the south.
    Not to mention I live in a town that sucks donkey hair.

    Yeah I figured that it wasn't a Monaro, I am not very familiar with Austrailian cars.

    Is it wrong to be British and dislike them? Because I may be British, and depending on the answer you give, may or may not dislike them

    Nice. Because I hate them.

    I've never really been anywhere else, but I know when I see a video or picture of somewhere in a different European country it can be pretty difficult to tell the difference right away. You really need either a landmark or to see them on the other side of the road to tell (for me atleast)

    in mainland Europe such as France or Belgium to name two places I've been to recently, there are similarities in that they have a similar motorway network and to an extent similar city network but in the UK we have many housing estates such as the one I live in where all the houses are based on 3 or 4 designs rather than pretty much being all uniform or all unique. And we rarely paint our houses but when we do it is white plaster. The first image is of French houses and you can see they are pretty much the same and the second one is British houses. Note how the front windows and the shapes of the houses are very slightly different. These types of houses are all over the UK but are usually attached to one another

    However the Holden Monaro was sold from 2003 to about 2006 in the UK as the Vauxhall Monaro
    I don't mind them but they have to be covered in butter and really good quality.
