pop into that shop, hand over a five pound note, because it was the old days, and leave with six cans of lager-style beer in a blue bag, a blue bag that's being stretched to the limits of its capabilities by the six...

Minulle oli sanottu aikoja sitten, mutta mielestÀni tykkÀykseni oli silloin se, ettÀ jÀrviÀ, erityisesti jÀrviÀ, pysyivÀt heidÀn keinoinsa kiinni niiden kansoihin. KyllÀ. TÀmÀ pitÀisi olla sana niihin asioihin, jotka pysyvÀt kansoihin yhdessÀ. En tiedÀ, mitÀ se on. KyllÀ, se on kuin rinkki, se on kuin... Kanso. Mutta ne loppuvat jÀrviin, eivÀtkö? KyllÀ, mutta minÀ olin yleensÀ yllÀttÀvÀsti katsomassa niitÀ kiviin.

jolloin kÀÀnnökset joutuivat loppumaan, jotta sydÀnti ei saisi kÀÀnnöksiÀ niihin. Minusta se tuntuu, kuin olisin tekemÀssÀ vÀhÀn RSPB-työtÀ tai jotain muuta. Joka tapauksessa vastaan Andrewin kysymykseen. MeillÀ ei ole mitÀÀn vastaavaa kÀÀnnöksistÀ.

You did me that lovely illustration on a post-it note. Yeah. With the bag of cans hanging from the bars, which I used. I just put a snippet of, as I've mentioned before, I'm engaged in an ongoing project to try and finish various bits of music I have kicking around. And I have just finished recently the No Name Full Suspension Mounted by Guy song. And I put a little snippet of it on socials using your illustrations of the artwork, which fitted perfectly, of course.

I did that while I was on an important Teams meeting, just so you know. Good. That just makes it better. That's the way I roll. Anyway, shall we move on? Yeah. I had one here from a listener in Canada. Okay. It's a listener called Jonas. He says, Hello, you two fine gentlemen. I'm from British Columbia, Canada, and looking at importing a 15-year-old small European hatchback

TÀmÀ on, koska todennÀköisesti Yhdysvalloissa on 25-vuotias-ruoli, josta voi ottaa auton, joka ei ole valmistellut sieltÀ. Mutta kyllÀ, Kanadassa on 15, eikö? Koska jotkut ottaa auton Kanadalle ja pysyvÀt niitÀ siellÀ, kun he eivÀt.

Eligibles to go into the US? I've heard this. Is it like a drug mulling place for cars, for JDM stuff or whatever? So yeah, Jonas says, I've narrowed my selection down to the following. Audi A1, Alfa Romeo Mito, Citroen DS3.

I work in northern BC where at times I'm the only person for hundreds of kilometers. So I need it to be reliable and well suited to regularly doing two and a half thousand kilometers as a commute while being in arctic conditions for most of the year. I'm leaning towards an A1 because it's likely going to be more robust than the DF3 or Mito and has better parts availability.

My heart wants the DS3 or the Mito because of how much I obsessed over them when I was a little kid, but my brain is saying A1. I'm going to be importing my car from Japan, so I'll be able to find a box-fresh low mileage example. So age-related issues shouldn't be too much of a problem. And if problems do pop up, I don't have any problem doing all the work myself.

but I don't know whether it's just an easier route. Obviously he's made the point, you know, that you do get a lot of box-press low mileage, well cared for cars coming out of Japan. And people just want to get rid, because the Japanese MOT equivalent is increasingly stringent, and so it's just easier to get a newer car. And the Japanese economy is preferable to us at the moment, and probably America too. Certainly at the moment the exchange rate as well is favourable to bringing stuff over here, isn't it? So probably the same for Canada because of the yen, but...

The DS3, yeah, I would worry about the integrity of a over 15 year old DS3. Going into Canadian winters.

You have to remember that it was a cheap car. There's nothing wrong with that. Look at it as an affordable car, but the way they made it affordable, as with all small cars, is there have to be some sacrifices. They're not built from the finest ingredients, because that would have made them too expensive at the time. I just think 2000 Citroens, not notorious for their

TÀmÀ on tÀysin ongelmallinen kvaliteetti. Se huolii minua hieman, mutta ne ovat aika hauskoja, ja ne nÀyttÀvÀt hyvÀltÀ. Minusta ne nÀyttÀvÀt hyvÀltÀ. Ne ovat hyvÀt kuuluvat, kaksi tonia. KyllÀ, ja ne ovat sellaisia shark finnit. KyllÀ.

Golfeja, A3eja ja niin edelleen. Niin kuin sisÀllÀ vaihtoehtoja, kuten sisÀllÀ vaihtoehtoja ja muuta, joita voisi saada Kanadassa, koska niillÀ on suunniteltu isommat Audis. Mutta kyllÀ, Mito on minulle se, joka ei tee sitÀ. MielestÀni he olivat aina todella hauskoja ajattelua.

I think personally it should be the Audi or the Citroen DS3. I'm curious whether it has to be European, particularly given that Jonas is talking about sourcing it in Japan, and whether he's thought about something interesting in Japanese, like, I don't know, the Toyota Glanza. It's a bit of a cult car. I mean, I imagine they're a bit pricey because they are kind of sought after, but I don't know if they're sought after in Japan the way that sort of JDM nerds here get quite jazzed about them, but...

Hmm, ettÀ tai... Alexa-saura. No, taas, onko se tÀytyy olla pieni tai isompi hachback? Voiko se olla isompi hachback? Me ei tiedetÀ. Voit saada versio Honda Jazz, tai Fit, kuten amerikkalaiset ja kanadalaiset kutsuvat sen. Voit saada hienompi versio niistÀ, joita minÀ tykkÀÀn. Mietin Lupon GTiÀ.

Oh, listen to you. Because that has, I would say, a little bit more of the sort of inherent Ferdinand Pieck-era quality in it, like the A1, but probably more fun to drive. One of the ones with the six-speed box on it. That is an incredibly bespoke car, but it should be okay, because I think it only shared like one exterior body panel with other Lupos. They just went to town on it. It's nuts, and there's lots of aluminium in there and things like that.

Ne ovat erittÀin hyviÀ vihreÀllÀ. Luupo GTi. Luupo GTi. Luupo GTi. Luupo GTi. Luupo GTi.

KyllÀ, niin se olisi se. Oletko valmistellut tÀmÀn? Viimeinen vastaus. TÀmÀ on minun valinnani, mutta jos ei, niin A1 pÀÀllÀ, DS3 kohtaa, Mito, ÀlÀ mieti. Mutta vain Lupo GTI tai Glanzer. Mito, ÀlÀ mieti. Olemme tosi diktatorioita nÀistÀ asioista. No, sinun tÀytyy ottaa tÀmÀn, mutta nÀmÀ ovat meidÀn ajatuksiamme.

Of course. I've just gone on the website and it is just century-100.com and it's got the, it's not a dragon is it?
