I will if it's a deloreon with the licence plate OUTATIME

Meh. 'murican cars are the worst along with their counterparts the Russians. European cars are the best, Japanese cars are alright.

Europe is a pretty big continent with many countries. Germany is the best for cars but France is the worst so by saying Europe is the best for cars is a paradox ;)

Excluding those horrible French cars. Countries like Germany, Italy and the UK are what makes 'European cars the best'.

The car from countries is a unproven, stupid nationalistic marketing tool to promote cars in a local country. All cars are made in different areas around the world as part of a chain of manufacturing.

A reason why the argument is stupid is if a Beemer was made in the USA which they do in South Carolina, then you would kind of have to classify it as an American car since made in America as you aren't importing the BMW from München.

The argument is stupid and was debunked like 20 years ago.

I kind of think this is wrong. BMW might be manufactured anywhere but the way they do it is still the same. An American car has horsepower everywhere, a Japanese car has the same style no matter where it was made.

We call them from a certain country because that is where the manufacturing progress comes from.

Woah! Calm down Lyrebird. German cars are the best in the world, but most French cars are not that good.

The badge may be Deutsch however being made by BMW USA in USA is still makes it an American car as Deutsch marquee. So as a technicality you can make that statement along with the it still being the car of its Country of Origin as the brand.

That being said each automobile manufacturer will make the car as you said specifically for the country needed or dependant on the brand. You aren't going to sell as big Chevy in France since it wouldn't really work out.

So really the point being is that no country makes the worst or best cars. Each automobile marquee and brand can be said differently e.g. Mercedes Benz AMG being better than an Infiniti as a Lexus are better than Volkswagen. (Hypothetical example). The whole country producing better cars is a marketing nationalistic ploy matched up by unreliable stereotyping as per the argument perpetrated by Ross Brawn in per the disagreement in the case of nationalistic pride meeting expectations of the whole indutry in trying to sell cars as per the argument in January 2010 at Brackley, United Kingdom

Also to note @Sword Master not the best idea to tell me to calm down.

@Lyrebird; but if we talk that way we have to consider cars that are only made in one specific country. Meaning Italy makes the best cars. as a mexican I do like my trucks tho

So what's everyone's Harry Potter House?

Presume at least a few people here must have taken a test at some point, I'm Hufflepuff
I'm in Ravenclaw :D This is the most thorough test I've found so far. Much better than the Pottermore one IMO, because it doesn't judge your personality on your choice in a bunch of pictures. :V

Just took the test, I got Hufflepuff on that one too, I also got Hufflepuff on Pottermore and several others, that one does seem to be the most thorough though :)

I was 57% Hufflepuff, 55% Ravenclaw, 48% Gryffindor and 41% Slytherin


@Rainbow; @Rainbow Cloud; @RainbowSkittles;
Snarticus needs your aid!

...for something. I’m not sure what.

Have you all been keeping up on your rent? Maybe that’s it.

"Rent!"

*Teleports house to the Moon*

He won't find me here :p


*Gets a Reliant Robin*

Wait a minute?
Like this!

a tricycle car, amazing

Reliant Robin racing could be the main motorsport of RM, it might be a good idea to build race tracks without corners though :D


RC Cola isn't that common around here. said:
Hey!
I have tea.
And RC Cola.
Did you know RC is in the soda business?
@Rainbow Cloud; I did not know you were expanding outside of the bubble market. Good on ya, man!

We shall expand accross the world :D


I've never actually come across RC Cola myself but they must sell it in the UK as they appear to have an official UK website.

Re: Random Messages Thread: Chapter 12 - Remembur Baf? He's Back, in Banana Form!

Let's put the argument of 'best' cad from Italia. Are we looking at just Ferrari and not considering Fiat, Lancia and all the other? Then comes the next part? What makes Italy the best producer of cars when there all homogeneous qualities to most modern cars manufactured these days. Tfen we have to note that best is subjective. In terms of what being best?

There comes the problem. I'm not going to say that so and so make the best cars because I'm not qualified to do that and nor have I driven cars from the early 20th century to now, let alone driven several different brands and manufactures to make a bold and audacious claim that a certain country makes good and bad cars.

I have driven in a couple of brands and I currently live near a museum of a manufacture. However as I pointed out several times as there are several variables, hpit is difficult to even make a highly subjective claim with a limited sample size to suggest a country makes a good or bad car when there are several manufactures, micro manufacturers and brands that produce cars in a certain country. Then we reach the point of stereotyping giving characteristics that are outdated in terms of automobiles whcih in the modern era of automobile manufacturering is considered moot.

So the whole problem with saying that so and so make best cars ii highly subjective, unreliable with a small sample size and not valid without proper testing meeting several criteria in a balanced unbiased testing campaign.

Hey if I have to bring automobile manufacturers documents into this I will. Ahh the thrill of debating.

I love Fiat cars.
@Lysson; You are forgiven for now ;)
@Rainbow Cloud; I am fully behind the idea of a RM racetrack. Make it happen.

*watches Lyrebird destroy the thread* Oh God, what have I done.

My broom broom is pretty reliable though and good for its age. Maybe she's like a beautiful French dish, everlasting and delicious. Not that I would want to taste my car though.
