What made you UNHAPPY today!

Does being 56% owned by the Bahrain Sovereign fund qualify it as British?

What does it take to qualify as a British car company these days? Made here? Owned here? Headquartered here? Driven here? Pay taxes here?

Bugger...…

Peugeot 3008 started misfiring. Needs a new engine - £9k.

Not going to happen. 😨

Glad I've got some extra cars to use in it's place.

 

Anyone want it?

Misfire 9grand 😳😦

[ChrisJ]

3 out of the four cylinders have issues. No idea why. Only done 70k.

I did say I was going to run it until it died after replacing all the injectors 18 months ago. Just thought it might last 4-5 years.

Slight misfire - my mate who’s a mechanic reckons it’s a fuse but I’ve given up  and can’t be bothered 🤪

I don't know.  That's why I said British-owned.  I think Rolls Royce and Bentley are built here as they feel that qualifies them as British.

[C8RKH]

Aston, Bentley, RR, Mini and McLaren are all built here yes. Maybe it's not where they are built but HQ'd as all those have their HQ's in the UK but all I believe are majority owned by either a Non UK HQ'd company or fund. I think that as the auto industry is these days is a truly  international affair it's getting harder to label on nationalistic grounds.

Bloody 'ell David that is ridiculous. To get my own back I would go and spend £2.00 at the supermarket buying say 20 envelopes. Address them to Royal Mails Head office. Put nothing in them and no stamp on them and post one a day for 20 days.  That'll cost them quite a bit and as they are the recipient they will only get the envelope delivered once they have coffed up the "missing postage" fee.

You won't get any recompense for this, but I bet as you drive that big truck of yours across the Uk it will give you a chuckle when you think how much it has cost them to deal with it.  Call it a draw at that point.

How very grown up.

@JG220- are you going to attack everything I post now? Replying like this to something I posted in September as a joke response shows how grown up you are mate and brings out your vindictive streak. So why don't you just sod off!  There. You got the response you obviously wanted so you can now take the evidence to the mods and get me banned. Have a happy life mate.

This is laughable, finally. Still "very grown up", though.

It's a joke to be honest. James has an issue on another thread so trawls back through 6 months of posts to have a dig and he thinks I'm childish. Hey ho. Good news is I've just put the toffee pop corn in the microwave. The response will be good. 😂🤣

I'll get other one on next accusing me of using humour to deflect from bullying or something similar. 

If they're what grown ups are like I'm quite happy to stay a child.

Pot calling kettle black 

[JG220]

I hadn’t actually realised it was an old post, it was in my unread. I’d have made the same comment whoever had posted it. 

I promise to make more effort to try to find the humour in future, genuinely.

Scotty, You obviously don't gel with my sense of humour or life outlook so give it up mate. I'll restrain from using it if I respond to any of your posts.

And just to be accurate, i don't have any black pots or kettles. They're all stainless steel.

[Trevsked]

And you said you’d restrain from humour in responding 😂. You’re so uncontrolled 🙂

I was merely stating facts! Nothing more. Think of it as me using one of my stainless steel pots to put the fire out.

To be honest Trevor, as I get older I realise that life really is too short to take yourself, or life, too seriously. I accept not everyone agrees with my approach and that is fine. I used to be controlled - and a right boring know it all pain in the ass. Now, well, I'm just an easy going uncontrollable pain in the ass, but happier with it.

[Chillidoggy]

You might be a know it all pain in the arse, but you're OUR know it all pain in the arse.

[C8RKH]

For as long as you continue to accomodate me I will always be your little pain in the arse Ian!  😝😱

Damn, I just can't stop myself. Bad dobbie, bad dobbie!

Well, now you are just being silly Mr. Barry. There's banter. There's humour. There's joviality. But that is just downright offensive comrade. ( a hundred thousand apologies for anyone who did actually vote for him, don't worry, there's always the next vote to get your cross in the right box).
