What with Authi and BMC creating their joint venture, BMC then buying out

51% of the shares, and finally in 1973, Authi becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of BL, you would think the Authi-built Mini would be excluded, wouldn't you?

Oh, no, wait, the charter includes Minis built by BMC. Thus, discussion of how the only part imported into Spain were the hubcaps is, therefore, well within the charter.

Do some research before attempting to pick fault again. It might make you appear less like a Parus major.

Not picking fault. Do less research and it might make you look less like a pompus arshole!

Oh, and my Clubman Estate can kick your Clubman Estate's arse! :p

OK...

Let's strike a happy medium between some and no research then. Do a little bit, just a little, maybe one google search to see what a Parus major is.

Then report back with your findings.

The best you can do is try and pull me into a dickwar?

I don't know why I bothered reasoning. You're apparently beyond it.

erik.

I couldn't have put it better myself.

Taffy

Steve.

Why reply at all?

erik.

Because you end with a question. That means you have no answers.

Mark

To you it might mean I have no answers; to me it means it's a rhetorical question.

rhetorical adj: concerned with effect or style of writing and speaking; "a rhetorical question is one asked solely to produce an effect (especially to make an assertion) rather than to elicit a reply"

Err,,,,OK

top post? you mean like this LOL, thats actually how I preffer it....

rather be thought a predjudiced fool that be one LOL...

and Im well aware that this NG was started by an American, in fact we've meet a couple of times....nice bloke is Rocky, as are some of the members of the Detroit club, a few from down Florida way, and I meet a really nice Texan on my grand tour of the US & Canada...which I did in my Rover Cooper S Works during the Spring of 2001.

if you read my thread from several posts above you'd have followed that theres Yanks and theres Americans....same as theres Englishmen and Poms.....

but at the end of the day your opinion means squat to me, and as far as I'm concerned thats all that matters this side of my keyboard
