My last two Fords, a '94 and a '98 Explorer, each gave me less trouble than
the '89 Honda that preceded them.

John, you've got to admit that the American manufacturers asked for their
problems back in the 1970s, by selling almost nothing but crap. They're
still paying the price.

How about a small compromise. "Buy North American" We make cars in
Canada too! In fact, Ontario makes more cars & trucks than does the state
of Michigan. General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Toyota & Cami.(
GM/Suzuki) are made here in Ontario.

D'oh! That's a family secret. We don't want to antagonize our neighbours
to the south.

Ya know... of all the folks here over the years that seem to have a
love-affair with Harry (Karen of Oz, Skipper,...) you seem the most
smitten.

Do you do ANYTHING but scour this NG for posts from Harry, just to reply
to them? Have you ever posted ANYTHING that wasn't an anti-Harry rant?
Geez, if you hate the man, put him on your ignore list!

And BTW, Tuuk, don't bother responding. You're now on MY ignore list.

On behalf of all Canadians, I apologise for this pond scum.

JohnH,
I got your email. Very nice pictures. Just curious as to the camera
you're using?

Crap. I have to put your email addy in there, which I won't do. I
thought anyone could go look, but apparently only those authorized
with an email addy.

Let me know if it's OK, and I'll put your email addy there.

Lloyd,
At times Harry irritates me and for a while I had him blocked as well.
At least some of Harry's post are worthwhile But this Tuuk fellow has
nothing worth reading at all.
Paul
PS Happy New Year to all.
