Remote key fob - replacement

TNKEV () gurgled happily, sounding much
like they were saying :

Say it out loud... It's somebody from 'merka

 

Pubic hair wig.

Er... the people bashing are in a uk.rec.cars.misc group, usually. Although
they might also post regularly to r.a.m.c for all I know.

I like my american derived v8 engine (SD1 with some american bits like a holley
double pumper and wildcat manifold) but I would freeze in fear and
powerlessness when sat behind the wheel of an american chassis.

Not because it's got problems, but whoever built it just didn't understand.
It's like learning and honing the skill of riding a tamed mustang horse over
decades of practice, becoming recognised as master of riders and then being sat
on a Rhinoceros. Yes, it can go through walls, but "WHY?!?"

(Yes, I realise they might not be able to go through walls these days. <fbg> )

 

Ahhhh 'merka got it! (yeah type slow!)

 

Check your Newsgroups: line. You're also bashing them in
rec.autos.makers.chrysler. Please edit it and go away.

 

You shouldn't be surprised to see someone telling the truth about shit
cars.

Untrue, it's vastly overpriced, has an asthmatic and inefficient 2 litre
engine that can barely keep up with a standard Eurobox 1.4 engine, and
the servicing bills are most amusing. It's not even cheap to buy and it
appears to have been styled by a blind man during the week when his dog
was on holiday.

It has the dynamics of a blancmange fastened to a roller skate.

If you blow on it hard it wil burst into flames. It is the only vehicle
to score nil points in Euro NCAP crash testing.

Ah, that would explain its position at the bottom of the JD Power
survey.

No, Chrysler manages to be unique in actually making a full range of
utterly shite vehicles.

All of the above and the fact that servicing costs more than for a
Jaguar, parts are ludicrously expensive, the dealers suck donkey dick,
and all Chryslers are the most unreliable hunks of junk this side of the
Urals.

Besides, all their ass is owned by Krauts.

 

He's only slightly less stupid than your president.

 

Pubic wig, or just another name for you Septics.

 

Somebody from the Yoonaad'd States of Mairca. The correct spelling is
"Maircan"; perhaps that's why you didn't recognize the word.

 

That may be so, but the entire UK also covers 94 square kilomiles, which
is only one square kilomile smaller than the land mass of...

....Oregon.

Oregon is only one United State. There are forty-nine others, which
together with oregon total 3537 square kilomiles. That alone comprises a
home market a shade under thirty-eight times larger than the UK. There
are also a few territories, and Canada could rightly be called a part of
TCFKACC's home market, which adds _another_ 3591 square kilomiles, making
TCFKACC's home market fully 145-1/2 *times* larger than the UK.

As you can see, I'm trying very hard to put forth extrinsic explanations
for why the UK is laughably irrelevant from the automotive standpoint. It
would be mean of me to point out also the utter and spectacular failure of
the English, er, "car" industry, but I shan't let that prevent me doing
so.

As have a great many continental Europeans since 1987.

 

Right, 'cos Vauxhalls and Rovers are *so* much better.

 

I'm not saying that a Rover would be any better, but we seem to have a
tiny bit of a problem here, in that Vauxhalls actually are yank shite.

 

owned by americans , but Designed and built by limey's. And Rovers! What
about that great english import to the U.S.! Sterling! Wow, and they copied
the great Honda! Hah! Are there any English made and owned vehicles?
NOOOOOOO!

Jaguar Quality when it was built and owned by limey's was????

Oh, Shiitteee!

 

By the Germans, actually, but, heh, Britain _is_ Europe to you lot of
inbred idiots.

This will be the Honda that are consistently the best selling car in the
US, then?

TVR. But they make proper sportscars, so you wouldn't be interested.

You're barking up the wrong tree here - where exactly do you think
Jaguars are built?

And whilst we're at it. How about Rolls Royce and Bentley? - not British
owned, but British built.

OK, point me in the direction of a car designed and built in the US that
actually stands up to comparison with it's European / Japanese
competitors?

 

Yes, that is true. Same shit just a different pile!

Exactly! The limey's borrowed the great japanese engineering and fucked it
up. Explain how Honda's are reliable. except the Sterlings could not even
get off the dealers lot without breaking down.
Were is Sterling? Duh, they cannot even copy good engineering without
ruining it, and fucking it up. Duh! Answer the question hero!

How, can they actually have the enginnering plans to build a Honda, and
cannot do it!!!! Oh, nationalistic pride, of doing it the British way. Oh,
Brilliant old chap, we have Honda's engineering plans, but let's not do it
that way, and let's just keep doing it our way. Oh, the headlights fall out?
Oh, that may be why Honda did that. Lets just tape them in, were British and
so damn good.

TVR makes kit cars!

Now! owned by americans and engineered by americans, oh, and now a quality
vehicle.
The Question was what quality did they have when owned and made by British.
Am I typing to fast for you.
But what about when it was owned by the limey's and built by them, Oh yah,
Don't answer that question again. It was shitty.
Oh, But not so bad, as when the Jaguar electronics fried, and engines bit
it, you could just put in a Chevy conversion, so it would be reliable.

Exactly, and the quality has improved drastically since the limey's do not
engineer or own the companies. Hell the Jag is a Ford Taurus, and the
quality improved, just from re-badging a ford sedan from the U.S. Go figure

Oh, yah!!!!

Oh, it's raining, better not drive your authentic British engineered and
built MG, It will short out and die!
Oh, and the great Triumph sports cars. All ready rusted, when they came out
of the factory. Rust bubbles, under the paint. Brilliant Watson.
Just like a Yugo, or Skoda.

Chrysler 300C, Any Pickup Truck, Jeep Grand Cherokee, made in US! not in
Graz. Dodge Durango, Chevy Yukon, Hell, any Us made vehicle has better
quality then BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. Even the Mercededes Service Rep I
worked with admitted the Jeep had better quality then Mercedes.

Not in decades. Very bespoke now. They don't even buy in many
components these days.

They have however been Russian owned for a couple of months.

LTI.

Caterham.

 

Isn't Chrysler owned by the Germans these days and their new quality models
based on Mercedes bits, such as the 300c, the crossfire etc...

Rubbish. We just don't go in for pickup trucks - no market demand, and the
Japanese ones are better - Toyota make the best.

4x4s / SUVs? How come that world wide LandRover (who have been the best long
before Ford's ownership) are the favourite? The Defender is king of the off
road, RangeRover the king of the luxury off-roader, Freelander is the
"lifestyle" machine for off-road use. In fact the US buys a lot of them.

Oh sorry, seppos don't drive off road, they just like their gas-guzzling
unsafe rollover car crushing SUVs to be big don't they.

As for quality - ever wonder why you guys have such busy service
departments? The cars are built poorly from cheap materials - if it wasn't
for the dealers gluing them together they'd never last.

 

Daniel J. Stern ([email protected]) gurgled happily, sounding much like
they were saying :

An alternative way to look at it is that we have a population of 60 million
- or more than the two most populous states (California and Texas) added
together, with enough left over to cover roughly the 10 least populous.

 

David () gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying :

Umm, no. They're neither 'merkin shite nor our own shite.

Vauxhall/Opels are designed and built by Krauts. The last British designed
Vauxhall was the HC Viva, launched in 1970.
