American cars have come a long way, no longer the realm of waterbed suspension. Your sugestions are credible but IMO still not quite there in a holistic manner (except for the 4X4 mention. Thought I'd take a Landie over a Jeep. I can't remember if BMW still own Land Rover or not though.) Sports car wise, look no further than Porsche which might not outdrag a big block American but sure would beat it in most other departments. I tend to respect AutoCar for car reviews and they rate the Caddy well, still has a few years to prove itself though. Ford GT does seem awesome though we will have to see how the Audi supercar stacks up against it when it comes out. Of course, there is still the rest of Europe to contend with; Alfa Romeo, Lamborghini, Renault, Jaguar, Aston Martin and Peugeot. Admitedly many owned by American companies but the Europenas have influenced their parent companies IMO. And then we have Toyota! Watch out GM. They have already beaten Ford. Cars are great eh? I just need a bank balance to match :-D regards, Paul Watson South Africa Michael Dunn wrote: "except the sod who voted this a 1, NO SOUP FOR YOU" Crikey! ain't life grand?

I can only think of one at the moment: the Corvette. Regards, Alvaro

Better than what comparable German car? I'd take a Porsche over a Corvette if forced to name a comparison German car. They are for different markets though. Different prices too. I don't think Germany produces a direct Corvette competitor; Maybe more the realm of far-east companies like Honda (S2000) or now Nissan (350Z). regards, Paul Watson South Africa Michael Dunn wrote: "except the sod who voted this a 1, NO SOUP FOR YOU" Crikey! ain't life grand?

Well done. Small clarification though - Canadians do _not_ have accents. Australians and Britons have accents. Americans have speech impediments.

Paul Watson wrote: Sports car wise, look no further than Porsche which might not outdrag a big block American but sure would beat it in most other departments. Nope . It can't. I am a BIG race fan ( real racing not NASCAR) and it has been a real long time since Porsche has won anything except a race against another Porchse. The vette can out run and out handle the little roaches. You really need to test drive one of them.

Jörgen Sigvardsson wrote: The "over engineered" argument is just another way of saying "they're better engineers Bullshit. I would like to see a coke bottle top designed by some of the Porsche or BWM engineers. Check out the steering and the suspension against the Corvette - which handles better BTW. Also look at the braking systems of the high end Porsches. Sometimes there is a need to "over engineer" something - but not in the amount or degree that some do. In a full time racing vehicle perhaps - but in the Boxster ? The 9xx series of yuppie street machines. naa Richard "Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer --Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)

I still have the bike in the garage ( it needs some TLC and a few parts ). In 91 I traded a old pickup truck for a 67 Harley and had about 3500.00 work done on it and only rode it a few times. I sold it in 95 and actually made money on the deal. I got 6700 and the truck was only worth about 1500 -2000.

TO: United Kingdom FROM: The United States of America SUBJECT: NOTICE OF REVOCATION OF INDEPENDENCE To the citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, We welcome your concern about our electoral process. It must be exciting for you to see a real Republic in action, even if from a distance. As always we're amused by your quaint belief that you're actually a world power. The sun never sets on the British Empire! Right-o chum! However, we regretfully have to decline your offer for intervention. On the other hand, it would be amusing to see you try to enforce your new policy (for the 96.3% of you that seem to have forgotten that you have little to no real power). After much deliberation, we have decided to continue our tradition as the longest running democratic republic. It seems that switching to a monarchy is in fact considered a "backwards step" by the majority of the world. To help you rise from your current anachronistic status, we have compiled a series of helpful suggestions that we hope you adopt: 1. Realize that language is an organic structure, and that you aren't always correct in your pronunciation or spelling. Let's use your "aluminium" example. Sir Humphrey Davy (an Englishman) invented the name "aluminum" (note spelling) for the metal. However, in common usage the name evolved into "aluminium" to match the naming convention of other elements. In 1925 the United States decided to switch back to the _original_ spelling and pronunciation of the word, at which point we dominated the aluminum industry. We'd also like to point out that the process of actually producing aluminum was developed by an American and a Frenchman (not an Englishman). However, we'd like to thank you for the Oxford English Dictionary. It's an interesting collection, considering that over 10,000 of the words in the original edition were submitted by a crazy American civil-war veteran called Dr. William Charles Minor. 2. Learn to distinguish the American and Canadian accents, and then we'll talk about the English and Australian accent issue. 3. If you want English actors as good guys, then make your own movies. Don't rely on us for your modern popular culture. We liked "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels", "Trainspotting", and "The Full Monty". We've also heard good things about this "Billy Elliot". But one good movie a year doesn't exactly make a cultural powerhouse. However, you're doing pretty well with music, so keep up the good work on that front. 4. It's inefficient to have a na

NOTICE OF REVOCATION OF INDEPENDENCE To the citizens of the United States of America, In the light of your failure to be able to elect a President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today. Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchial duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy. Your new prime minister (The Right Honorable Tony Blair, MP, for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following Rules are introduced with immediate effect: 1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium". Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up "vocabulary". Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up "interspersed". 2. There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. 3. You should learn to distinguish the British and Australian accents. It really isn't that hard. 4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the good guys. 5. You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get confused and give up half way through. 6. You should stop playing American "football". There is only one kind of football. What you refer to as American "football" is not a very good game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like nancies). We are hoping to get together at least
I think the last time England tried to tell us how they'd manage the country, her best got their butts kicked by a bunch of farmers. Also, seeing as how she's handled the running of Northern Ireland, I think we'll stick to our own way. But, thanks for playing and I'll let Stan or John give you your parting gifts on the way out ;P Cheers, Tom Archer "Use what talents you possess.
