Flood damage to car engines

In other words, you're saying "am I bothered?".

Learn to spell or shut up you make it worse for the rest of us.

That makes no sense at all. None.

"We supply all of your Indy Car engines." Who is "we"? The Indy cars on my TV have Honda motors, which come from Japan if my memory serves. "We" don't supply all of anything, loser.

That's a good suggestion. While he is learning to spell, you can learn to put together a sentence.

I just wonder who the 'us' is.

Here, to me, 'us' is those BMW enthusiasts who choose to read this group.

Nothing else matters.

No Chance Oops! No chance

I was thinking of us in the way of BRITS

Actually I think you will find that about 98% of the Indy cars are either built in the UK or are fabricated from parts made in the UK especially the Carbon Fibre tubs that protect the driver and that everything else is hung on.

Many of the power plants (engines) are built in the UK too maybe not that much now although I'll agree it appears that the basic stock comes from Japan but HONDA actually make many of their race car parts in the UK factory and not Japan.

Except that you're wrong. 1) Dallara is an ITALIAN company (which builds and manufactures about 1/2 the cars), and 2) the PANOZ chassis is owned by the US Elan Motorsports (which also does AMLS, IMSA and NASCAR stuff) and is built in Georgia, USA.

Oh, yes, BTW. All the Champ Cars are Panoz chassis, built in Georgia.

Ok but the drivers are s*it and that's why a Brit won Indy!

Judging by some of the s**te written here by a few I'm glad to be a Scot. ;-)

Nice try, but you forgot about Oscar!

Thank You and goodnight.

A Canadian (Paul Tracy) won the Champ race last weekend, Dario Franchitti (a Scottish-born Italian) won the Indy race, and Juan Pablo Montoya (Argentine) won the NASCAR race. That's what makes USA great. I'm glad you're back in the UK.

I thought they said Montoya was born in Columbia? Either way, I could easily be wrong. How did this topic go from "Look at how stupid I am for driving my car through a flooded area, it MUST be the manufacturers fault" to who makes what for whom??? The dumb ass that started this topic did a wonderful job of steering the subject away from his stupidity.

I won't even start on the Brits. Lovely people but they have thier share of issues...

And now we have Gordon Brown ---- Arrrrgh!

Bush seem so intelligent now

The most successful Chancellor in living memory with the longest period of sustained growth and financial stability. But your memory is obviously failing...

I have to remind myself to not practice my highspeed puddle clearing maneuvers when in my car. My wife's SUV still soothes my inner beast.
