Pretty good coming from a journalist! You maybe "King Pin" in your back yard, but the "media" i.e. journalists rank similar to used car salesmen in the rest of the world. Scum.

How about most british built vehicles, when the Brits OWNED the comanies were unreliable, oil leaking, lucus wired POS!

Oh really, I won't reply to you ignorance (Typical of a journalist).

Two Asian cars and one Ford. You have Japan and the USA to thank for quality control and better production techniques. Without that those cars would be crap. The only reason Jaguar has improved is due to Ford running the show. Now you'll have an Australian in charge of Jaguar Landrover. Being a grubby media tart, I'm sure you will find very unflattering remarks to write about that man....

David Betts, you are a prime example and equal to you peers. Well done.

Ah! Our ignorant friend is back to 'ownership' is he. And shouting again. As it happens, most British cars proved very reliable in opening up the world....as long as they were maintained properly. Never understood people's obsession with oil leaks. All older cars leaked oil as a matter of course. Modern materials have changed all that. Nothing to do with quality. What's a 'lucus'? Does he mean Lucas? If so, I wasn't aware that the company every 'wired' anything. Manufacturers of electrical components, I believe. Not all electrical components were 100 per cent reliable back in the '50s and '60-s. Lucas components were no worse than anybody else's.

Come on then. Tell me what you know about the Australian car industry. I know that Ford and GM assemble big V8 saloons there, and presumably pick ups and the like. Do the Japanese who supply most of the cars in Australia build them in Australia? I hope so.

Yes, for which we are properly grateful.... not to mention the investment. Anybody investing in the Australian car industry at anything like that level?

Why should I. We welcome talent in the UK. I'm sure he's not a bogan.

You mean, clearly, that I have the ability to hit the nail on the head. Please give up, you are out of your depth.

Thank you. Please feel free to try again later. I've had enough of playing with you for now.

No not at all, only new british vehicles and motorcycles. I guess you people needed them to leak so you knew they had oil in them.

Oh, please!! What a load of crap. Lucas the prince of darkness was so bad, had no peers.

I know the history of the Australian car industy. The old Pommy vehicles did not last long at all, as soon as a replacement arrived, they were dumped. GMH started building Holdens based on Chevrolet and dropped Vauxhall. Ford AU built the Falcon and dumped Zephyr. The rootes group became well and truly rooted, with Chrysler Australia looking at other makes.

Asian cars are also built here.

Yes me too! Can't stand idiots.. "Plonk"

Come on David and McGrice! This petty squabbling is below each of you probably otherwise quite intelligent fellows. I'm a naturalised Aussie who is also still a Pom, and can see points to both arguments. But the main argument should be - *it doesn't matter*. If you've spent 3 weeks in a coma (with relatives quaking evry tiume they go near the hospital "interviedw room" and 4 more weeks in hospital, as I have, you surely get things in proportion! I've watched this thread with mounting depression (*there's* an expression!) Don't let this group degenerate into the mindless rubbish that pollutes many other groups. Let's return to using this group to exchange technical knowledge about Jags. Agree to differ and move on, or better still make up! Please!

Wrong on a few points, I was born here 55 years ago and still have all my marbles unlike the fool you agree with. I have also been to the UK.

Ford and Holden both design and build unique cars here, as well as export them (in limited numbers). We dont really have 'pick ups' as such, although you can buy imported ones I guess. Utes are another matter.

Australia? I hope so. Yes. At least for most of the bigger companies. The smaller ones just import.

Whereas I agree with your argument in general, one point is that Australia has never had any significant independant car companies. Thus there was never anything much to 'lose' in the first place. The main problem now is not in making it an all import market.
