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> )

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

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.

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 ****e.

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.

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

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.

> Oh, Shiitteee!

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?
