The message ews.net
from ":Jerry:" contains these words: Tell us Drivel, what are your qualification in the automotive industry?.... I have science degree and I am just pain brilliant at things and life. Even domestic science would be beyond him. Liar, if true you will be able to say were you gained the degree (and what in), this of course can then be checked up on... What bunch of shysters did he buy his degree certificate from. Dribbles lack of understanding must have precluded him from obtaining on merit any qualification that requires rational thought. -- Roger Chapman |

Doctor Drivel ) gurgled happily, sounding much like
they were saying : I wonder what the residual values of the P will be like when they get to say 5-7 years old? Good. It has been around for 10 years in two forms. In the UK, it's only been about in any kind of volume for a couple of years in one form. And it's currently very fashionable - which can only help residuals. Wonder what'll happen in a couple of years as supply of used cars rises and demand falls as fashion moves on...? The Prius is the most reliable car in the world. Ask JD Power. chortle The Prius is NOT complicated, when the basics of operation is known; read my description it is not difficult. Then read an accurate description... Put a rotary engine in it and simpler again. Wankel-Hybrid... boggle |
