What about protectionism for the local market (like high tariffs on imports). Is this good policy?

Oh well, it doesn't surprise me... Ford lost their balls a long time ago when they killed off plans for a LHD Falcon for the American market...

Nancy, can I have the engine and driveline?

I love America, Aussies love Americans.We both have cowboys, C&W and rednecks. We both have hatred for the last two... We both love our V8's and drag racing. GM Holden had their own version of the Chevrolet song "Football, meat-pies, kangaroos and Holden cars". Australia culture is basically equal parts American and…

I'm unsure if you're completely getting my point... YES, I don't like it and the majority do disagree with me. I spent all those paragraphs up there ^ explaining that to you, and yet you're still trying to tell me what I already know... try to be more conversant. I'm expressing my hatred with a facetious…

Fair deal.

It nothing about being bitter for something I don't have control in. I don't care about changing things. It doesn't really affect my life. This is about expressing hatred for things; a lot of cunts look down upon hatred these days.

Here's the Aussie version...

I didn't know they were a "supergroup" but that somehow makes it worse after listening to what they came up with.. I have a background in the music recording and performance industry in Australia. SoI have strong opinions on music. But being a Jalop, I have stronger opinions on cars, and my hatred is for trying to…

Well spotted mate!

I doubt about the Gaz, but I'm sure you'd find the odd dead Lada from the 80's in the Aussie outback... Some rotting away alongside their American and Japanese contemporaries. But quite a lot of Aussie Lada Nivas are still going strong.

I hope that arsehole truckie got what he deserved.

Russia's so scary they were too afraid to post it.

And... a lot of pedestrians hate cyclists, a lot of cyclists hate pedestrians. There doesn't seem to be a place on earth other than Holland and a velodrome, where a cyclists are welcome.

Hey Windsor, thanks for this ^ ...Awesome engine, great job.

No Travis... No. Not cool. Too early, a 1982 Camry maybe, but not last years model. The bad taste still hasn't left our mouths.

I have a 1.9TDi Caddy with DSG. I blame the gearbox. I have to think a second or two ahead of it; at parking speeds, taking off and downshifting.

Now go wash... Thoroughly. Get those audible stains out of your ears.

In Australia, we have the Ford Territory, which is a cross-over based off our local Falcon platform. It is considered world class in quality and refinement, featuring better tech than what was then available to Ford world-wide; despite being sold only to AU, NZ and ZA markets. The turbo model when new was faster than…

Kingen, this is a hard issue to tackle without looking like a bigot, but I'll give it a shot...
