Remote key fob - replacement

Because of your centuries of rapid inbreeding. Yes I will give you the
credit of Population Density. But having sex with the cousins and brothers
and sisters is still widely shummed in the U.S. With the exception of the
original colony states.

Ah, but we've learnt to read on this side of the pond...

And how reliable has your Alfa been...?....

The only breakdown has been a failed clutch slave cylinder. I'll let it
have that one, as it's 130k miles and 15 years old.

Perhaps only in Europe. US cars in the US are a lot cheaper than here, I
trust you know.

Just curious, from a price point of view, what would you put up against the
Neon that's similar in spec but cheaper in the UK. (Never mind the EuroNCAP
for now.)

Lovely, an' all, but that nugget's not a lot of use in the UK.

The Neon was last available new here last summer (2004/04 plate).

2.0LX manual - £12,702
2.0LX auto - £13,002
2.0R/T manual - £13,995

That's slap bang in the middle of good-spec Focus money. 1.6 Zetec,
£12,882. 1.8 Zetec, £13,382. Yes, the Neon is nominally a little larger
(not much in it), but the reviews also slate it for poor rear space.

There's absolutely no question as to which is the better car - and the used
Focus would now be worth two grand more than the Neon. After nine months.

The Focus is also a big chunk more economical, falls into a cheaper road
tax band than the Neon, and is FIVE insurance groups lower (7 instead of
12)...

Figuring out how to take Jaguar back to its roots. And it's working. When
the Jaguar Advanced Lightweight Coupe was revealed at the North American
International Auto Show last month, one headlamp was burnt out.

Playtoys built at the rate of 2/year don't count as "cars".

Er...nope. Vauxhalls are a mix of Kraut and Brit. No Yank in 'em. Never
has been.

*bzzzzt* wrong again.

You get versions of the European Corsa, Astra, Vectra and previously the
Omega.
