Aah a continental misunderstanding... In Europe we don't use the year of build if we talk about cars..


The same is for distances... Yankees and Canucks tend to refer to distances in time instead of clicks as in Europe. So much even that most North Americans I've met during my vacation only have a vague idea about the actual distance from A to B but they can with a fair amount of accuracy tell you how long it will take you.
