Built like a Mercedes (?)

You do talk some astonishing drivel.

You should probably learn to follow a thread before posting to it. Doing so
will save you from looking like a total fool.

 

well dave, i guess i could apologize to you for not using proper
convention. i guess i could tell you that i am sorry that without
capitals you seem to have trouble reading coharently.

but you know what? i won't, because i really don't give a shit that
you are such a moron that you can't read without everything being
perfectly formatted i really really don't give even half a **** that
you are such an uptight dip shit that capitals mean that much to you.
geez dave, it really must suck to be you, or for that matter to have
to "listen" to you. thank goodness, i only have to deal with the
latter. anyway, enjoy being the grammar police, you fucking "twit".

 

dave, you seem to have trouble telling one convention from another. i
don't use capitals. you left out all spaces. different anomolies.
just thought i'd let you know since you seem to be so incredibly
fucking stupid that i am not at all sure that you knew that.

 

unsnipped post below. Nobody does this, so after a while top posters

Okay... I don't personally do it, because I also like to edit out
irrelevant parts. I just don't get my nuts in a vise over it and predict
the downfall of human civilization when someone puts their comments at the
top.

Thanks for the education...

 

geez dave. you really are hung up on rules. you are one fucked up,
up tight guy.

 

WOW!!!!

we down to jabbin at my programs now?

 

wow. very rude and totally obnoxious. but then since it came from
dave, no one is at all surprised.

 

well, we should listen to you on this one graham. i mean, you seem
to be an expert on drivel.

 

normally you would be right. but this is dave, he is pretty much a
fool to start with.

 

In the USA, that is...

i don't know about the rest of you, but it is hard to get excited
about arguing with a guy that calls himself "pooh bear". lmfao, i
mean come on, "pooh bear"? hey, nighty nite pooh bear.

 

There's a difference between modern synthetic oils and the 'dino-oil' so popular
in the US.

Because it makes sense to build near to the amrket.

It seems your UAW has an unrelistic idea of its members' value.

Yes, I have experienced Fiat (Fix It Again Tony) - rusted away in less
than 4 years, and the engine was shot in less than 2 - 1987 Fiat 128 L
sports coupe. Also Peugot - 1967 204 wagon. Tough little piece of
scrap - but not very dependable. To be fair, it had a hard life
(Zambia Central Africa). Also Renault. 1967 R12 - rallied it for 3
years and couldn't break it. NASTY critter to work on, but gave me a
4,3,2 finish in 3 years on the ONNRC.
My first car was a 8 year old Morris 850 (Mini) that had 196,000 miles
on it when I rescued it from the scrappy.
Had a Vauxhall too - 1972 Viva HC. Another tough little car - needed a
lot of minor attention, but stood up well. My brother had a Victor
Special (1962) and a Viva HA (1964) Nice cars, but rather fragile and
underpowered. He lso had a Rover TC 2000 - a nice car to drive, but a
real mechanic's nightmare. Other brother had a Sunbeam sedan for a
short time.

I owned an old FJ45 Land Cruiser too - now THAT was a tough truck
(Station wagon)and several Toyotas.(corolla and tercel). They were the
best of ANY vehicles I've owned - somewhere around 26 in number by
now.
I also drove a Series 3 Land Rover "swamper" high clearance pickup for
a while and a Sunbeam Alpine GT 1275.

 

No you didn't ! You waited til Japan bombed Pearl Harbor over 2 years after the
start of WW2. US forces didn't arrive *in the UK* until 1942.

England was saved from invasion by the 'Battle of Britain' in which the US
played not one single jot.

France was liberated by *allied* forces. Not just the US. Aside from the obvious
Brits and Yanks there were Canadians, Free French, Poles, Australians, New
Zealanders, Indians, Czechs and many others.

You're a lying sack of shit.

Graham

 

The USAAF didn't arrive in Britain until spring 1942.

US troops weren't fighting in Europe untill the invasion of Sicily in July
1943.

Graham

 

You really need to get out !

In Asia ppl can't afford to replace cars willy-nilly. I'd expect some of the
cars on Indian roads easily to be 20 yrs old. They don't rust that much over
there actually.

As for the roads - well until you've driven through a few Indian pot-holes you
haven't experienced how bad roads can really be.

Graham

 

Uh ?

My last UK Vauxhall Cavalier lasted 180,000 miles and 16 yrs without any major
parts replacement at all. Original clutch AFAIK too.

You're daft if you think maintenance is expensive because of 'Euro' design too.
