Funny how you nail the apologists with facts and that's all they can muster.....
Yep, it’s a “Sad Old World”. 
OK , chaps ,
For the sake of peace and quiet on the forum , and because you seem to have an anti Brit fetish , I will admit it .
Britain is crap .
The British are crap .
Don’t you feel better now?
Once you get it out, it’s easier to deal with.
Nobody was trying to tell you that, Mike, just doing factual responses to your bent that the stuff was the best in the world.
One side is Brit (actually Vikings who came over in a raiding party and stayed), and the other Scot (MacNaughton).
I mean, there’s so much to like about that little island.
The Avengers.
Doctor Who.
Red Dwarf.
Space Cops.
What better way to keep the kiddies in line once the figure out there aren’t any bogey-men than to present them with Daleks.
And Cybermen.

Dave,
During the coaching course I attended two weeks ago we also discussed the “Whiner” problem - sometimes a kid has a “major bad hair day” - and kiddingly we decided if all else fails tell them to “Suck it up”. With a wink and a smile, of course.
Ok, I tried to keep it light, but obviously there are some history and issues here that I failed to understand. I won’t enter into a who’s best at what or any other kind of petty nastiness. So please excuse me, I won’t take any further part in this particular discussion.
I know and accept that that is what this section of the Forum is for, so please go ahead without me.
sincerely
Rod F.
Rod , you are very wise to keep away .
They tend to get hissy fits every so often .

Now that really is the pot calling the kettle black.
You can always tell when someone is losing an argument.
They get personal and start calling other people names.

Tony,
One looks at the source and goes “Hmmmmmmm, interesting”.
Some people don’t have “bad hair days”, but when there’s too little hair left one can always wear a “hair shirt”.
Yup.
BTDT.
Call ya names and think they’ve scored a coup.
Tell me, Tony, just for the record.
With your background and all…what do YOU drive?

I ACTUALLY drive a 1975 351 cu in Australian built LWB Ford LTD.
I have two of them and the electrics in them are so so as well.
One to drive whilst the other is having the ever present tin worm taken care of, or the electrics fixed.
Now, I would LIKE to drive a Morgan Plus 8 if I could afford one.

Tony, 
Morgan Plus 8 
no relation, right?
make sure you don’t ask the question unless you know the answer…
Had a friend who owned a series of Jags, several XJ6s, and his pride on joy, a older 63 Class C salon coupe 4 door with the full leather interior, he drooled over that car but it was as far from reliable as any car could be, the last straw can when he was driving his wife to the hospital, she was in labor BTW…and the Prince of Darkness struck with all the expected fury that the electrical beezlebub of automotive wiring could muster, full electrical breakdown, in the middle of an intersection, 3 miles from the hospital…with the wife hurling words that would make the toughest salts the Navy ever knew blush! Lets just say that that every Jag he had eventually got sold off a few months after he got it for similar reasons, and similar words…the wife eventually layed down the law…get something ^%&$-freaking reliable or she will. He got a new V-dub. Cant say if it was a good car but their still married, I doubt that if he had kept the lousy Jags. He’s into Alfa’s now. I still have my Honda N600 to rebuild.
I love Jags.
Well, up to the XJ series.
I wouldn’t mind an Inspector Morse one. Only BRG.
The only XJ** Jag I would consider buying pre the Ford takeover, would have to have had a Chev 350 transplant and the electrics replaced.
That conversion is quite popular in OZ. Especially if it had been a V12.
Vic. Years ago I used to own a Honda A600. Great little rocket.
Hans. I doubt it. But ya never know.

Once I get pulling the thing apart, ya might be getting some e-mails about puttting it back together!

Hans ,
For once , your reply exceeds your brilliance
Under other circumstances ,you might shine
Could you teach me how to respond like that ?
Kind old chap like you should be able
Overcome , I shall retreat until recovered
Fearing that I never shall show such
Fine command of the language
