not that funny if you are a jaguar worker!, Ford are stopping production of the Jaguar, it is hoped that a chinese company will be buying it from ford so the factories will stay open. |

The beauty of English is it's flexibility, I think this thread proves there are so many 'right' forms of English, unlike some languages.
But, just for the record, it is pronounced 'rooter' and the colonies are just desparate to show they're rebelling against their parents (think stroppy teenagers, which the colonies are compared with Europe), hence all this ridiculousness ;-)

and? i challenge you to come up with a single non-european car that beats, in specs the Ferrari F60 (Enzo)[i think theres one car that can beat the tested speed of the enzo, tho ferrari still claim it can go faster than tested], and a single car anywhere that beats in looks the Ferrari 575 Marranello! The italians are the masters of cars, if you're gonna copy anyone... and come on, what would you make a sportscar look like thats so different to italian designs?

| Well I at least rattled yer chain a little huh ?? LOL!! The Ferrari is an awesome car. But, if any American auto maker really wanted, or felt the need to out style, out class, or out speed the ferrari I really don't think it would be a problem. |

So are you saying that Americans don't want style or class? Surely not... |
