Re: '59 ****** with a surrey on top.
I would say most would have their beginning as war surplus MB Jeeps
like were sold here as CJ-2A. Remember that's where the japanese kill
many Americas beginning with the Bataan Death March, through Iwo Jima,
where MacArthur made good his promise.

Re: '59 ****** with a surrey on top.
Yes they do. English is very prominently spoken there, and is also a
required class to graduate high school. Some of the older people there don't
speak English very well, but anyone under 30 years old, or so, speaks
English very well. Even better than many people in this country, which is
sad to say. Most of them will speak one of their native languages, with
Tagalog and Cebuano being the two most prominent. Funny thing is, they like
speaking English, but when I asked my fiancée why they still spoke the
native tongue around us, it was because they felt their English wasn't very
good. Go figure.

Re: '59 ****** with a surrey on top.
It's the same in Spain. I heard on a radio show over there, that Spanish
don't speak English in front of foreigners, "porque tienen vergüenza".
