It's not a TDI, I have a 30 year old Mercedes that I used to run on B100 bio-diesel, and the type of remark she made always come from people with gasoline powered cars. (Because they don't know that making bio-diesel is a lot cooler than just having a unicorn fart into the car's fuel tank)

...and can I just say I think it's frigging cool that Marten pulled out Claire's chair for her?
I see that so rarely anymore.

I think that Marten and Sven are sort of distorted reflections of each other. Sven has a lot of confidence and animal magnetism. This lets him pick up easily but he doesn't have the instincts to woo and keep a girl. Marten, on the other hand, is a nice guy, is immensely polite and has all the old-world courtly instincts. Whilst he isn't likely to have girls hanging off of him drooling with lust, he is excellent at being their friends and touching them on such a level that, if he wants to move on to a more intimate relationship, they jump at the chance to be with such a nice guy.
It was pretty clear with the tourniquet incident that he is physically attractive enough that even women in committed relationships would prefer him to walk around without a shirt on. :wink:

It's perceptive of him to realize that Claire would feel charmed by that kind of move, not patronized.

Marten is attractive and has no trouble commanding women's attention. He had a year-long relationship with Dora, caught Cosette's eye during it, was single for about a month before dating Padma, and single again for about two months before asking Claire out. Faye is the exception to the pattern, not the rule.

Or men's.
