The Top Gear survey came out recently, with more French cars in the bottom ten than any other nationality. Jeremy Paxman(or 'Clarkson' as he is affectionately known, though no one knows why) said it was probably why they were burning them all. Clarkson is a moron though, which one should bear in mind in the context.

The Babel Fish didn't like amere - but I think I got the gist. I understand the cars have stopped bleeding now, or at least, the wound is healing slowly.
