  1. Have they built a car yet? How many do they currently employ? Its great they are shot of the, EU, the tarrifs on every car they sell to europe should bring them a signifcant competitive edge in the tiny european market.
  2. Your reading comprehension is inconstent. Where do I refer to china in the context of the post I responded to or the op? Do try to keep up.
  3. Kinda like the union jacks that often emblazon the entire roofs of the german mini. For the more patriotic amongst you, that must sting.
  4. Many onsite seem unable to accept that manufacturing is a global endeavour, what amuses me is where they draw their lines.
  5. Like bmw with mini and rolls, volvo and lotus with Zhejiang Geely, and bentley with vw plus im sure a few more I missed. britian certainly doent have a rich history of hanging on to its marques. your use of chinaman in another post however is cute. Reminds me of my grandfather, but like Bmc/bl he has been dead for decades. your insitent jingoism would do him proud. don't the indians (tata) own jaguar now? the worm has turned. Hail Brittania. I wonder what is worse, buying a legacy or selling your heritage? It does after all cut both ways.
  6. Maybe thier ideas about the world in general are outdated. Look where you are posting, archaic thinking is hardly uncommon hereabouts.
  7. And a firm grasp of the obvious was demonstrated.
  8. I envy the writer their firm grasp of the obvious.
  9. An asshat is an asshat, professional or otherwise. It doesn't take much time out of my day either way. Besides, I quite enjoy stepping on toes myself.
  10. What a stupid response. ATM, credit card and debit card fraud is worldwide. I also strongly doubt the entire population was involved in this, especially since they were the primary victims. In fact nothing I have seen indicates that this was perpetrated by thais, though if it was kudos for a remarkably tech savvy crime.
  11. If you had looked more carefully you might have also seen that ubiquitous shotgun was rusty, uncared for and likely inoperable.
  12. I dont think it acceptable at all. It is clearly against the current policy and I think 5 years is a pretty reasonable slap on the wrist. With the family and freinds I have here it would be devastsing. Nor do in think a single dolt whose crircumstances I neither know nor care to understand is worth all the strident righteousness you bring to bear on the topic.
  13. Gee smokey, thanks for the language lesson, though despite the fact that you are the ringing voice of reason im hard pressed to understand why you would feel the need to bemoan uk immigration policies here. Perhaps you were using this topic to grind one of your favourite, apparently factual, axes? I sure you had no unspoken agenda, though.
  14. Not sure how they managed to get past the crowds of people frequenting all the other unopen bars in the area to make their arrests. A word to the wise people, only frequent bars with clear cut police connections.
  15. If lisa has any sense, she will steer clear of anything tondo with this government. As for the opera singer, what the absolute fock are they thinking?
  16. I have qualifications in IT. Epic. My dad is a tv repairman. He has an awesome set of tools.
  17. Pretty much indicates a complete lack of understanding of what a vpn actually does. Vpns are certainly surrounded by myth and hype, but they do add an extra layer of security if you are uncertain of the network you are on. If you are going to bother worrying about security, it is a reasonable step to take.
  18. If only the smart car could detect and deport the self righteous with bad taste in scotch.
