BTW, the Dutch AREN'T sexy!

Maybe it's what you compare it too, Dutch women are pretty sexy. I guess Clarkson is comparing to the British, but it's also a lot more pleasing to the eye to walk through a Dutch mall than it is through a US mall. I know a lot of Americans who moved here (my wife worked for a US company). The three things they notice first is: our language sounds like a throat disease, the pretty women and the high speeds on the roads.

On the other hand, if your definition of sexy is "5kg silicone per boob and long bleeched hair" then indeed Dutch women are not sexy. Especially in the under 30 age bracket, virtually all are still natural here. Quite a high number of natural blonds here too though.

i enjoyed the clip though (",)

has me intrigued, since it says 1973. but looking at the fashion and the cars, it looks more like 1983...

clue could be that it was done later on british tellie (the band was dutch and the clip is obviously not in holland)

Yeah 1973 is the original date of the song. I think the Reliant is from that era too though.

the jaguar and the cop car and the clothes arent though

oh, and i think dutch girls are sexy. you need to live there in summertime to understand. its the beautifully defined calves that do it for me (everyone really does ride a bike there)  (",)

TOK:
I think the thing with 3 wheeled cars is that you have to make the decision to compromise stability (single front wheel) or traction (single rear wheel). The single rear wheel is the far better setup, and there are 3 wheeled cars in North America, though none made by large manufacturers.

There are also a bunch of motorcycle based 3 wheelers with the same layout, but no roof. There are a few companies making Morgan reproductions using Harley Davidson engines, too.

Yeah sorry, didn't mean to claim the clip wasn't from the eighties.

Lol.

BTW talking about three wheelers. I always thought the Messerschmidt was cool (Looks a bit like the Jetsons' retro sci-fi).


and the BMW Isetta
