[OT] Prius bashing

[Dave Plowman (News)]

No point in asking. He'd just lie about that as everything else. He's claimed to have a degree of some sort in the past. But even then wouldn't say where he'd bought it.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

You don't have an answer when confronted by the truth, then?

[Doctor Drivel]

The management system is the far from simple part.

I have science degree and I am just pain brilliant at things and life. :)

[Doctor Drivel]

Please eff off you are an idiot.

[Doctor Drivel]

Please eff off as you are a troll.

[:Jerry:]

So you now finally agree that it's not "very simple", remember that without the complex parts working the simple parts are scrap metal!

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...

[Doctor Drivel]

.....and pants on fire.

The message from ":Jerry:" contains these words:

Even domestic science would be beyond him.

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.

[Doctor Drivel]

Roger is a plantpot you know.

[John Rumm]

Hence you inability to comprehend basic usage of units etc? What was the last one kW/hour I seem to recall. LOL.

[Doctor Drivel]

This man is from Essex you know.

[:Jerry:]

If you want modern performance, why not just buy a modern car?...

Well that logic would see people putting a Jag V12 engine into a pre war SS cars model and then claiming that they weren't really modifying the car!

The later Marina was really still a Minor in many ways and

If you want an up-rated Minor buy a Marina then...

[:Jerry:]

90 percent is the same, just make sure that the front trunions are healthy and keep them correctly serviced (the Spridget, Midget, A40 had front wishbones), the rest is much the same.

[:Jerry:]

If so you must have had a fault in the distributor or poorly manufactured points (most likely) or no lubrication on the heel-to-cam contact area, when I had my P6 3500 the points rarely went out of adjustment, nor do I remember there being too many problems with cars being returned after servicing - unlike some cars - when the cars were (almost) current models.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Because the Minor is simple, has a certain charm, and doesn't depreciate. It's also well supported spares wise which a newer car may not be once past its first flush of youth.

You don't quite understand the classic car scene, do you? ;-)

[Grimly Curmudgeon]

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Dave Plowman (News)" saying something like:

Same place as Gillian McKeith, iwt.

[Doctor Drivel]

A plantpot and a troll all together.

[Julian]

I guess the Prius is simple, just like the space shuttle. Take two tanks, fill one with liquid hydrogen and t'other with liquid oxygen, two pumps to push the liquids into some giant upturned plantpots, a few sparks and whooosh!!! into orbit and circling the earth. So simple really, no complication whatsoever :-)

Julian.

[:Jerry:]

You mean that you have a twin?!

[:Jerry:]

That would be why most of my work now comes from the classic car scene then.
