I do love England, but the elitist "Old World" attitude that pervades Europe and the Islands is ridiculous...hey, what have you done for me lately? coyote2.gif

Ken, I had also written what you did but deleted it. I own an auto repair so I know a little about cars. I havent seen a Jag with a good electrical system.  And, the last Rolls I worked on had a GM powertrain. The list goes on and on.  Ford sells 104 F series trucks an hour. So, for the volume of trucks produced, the quality is pretty darn good imo. Just imagine the quality of some of the brands you mentioned if they had to produce as many as Ford does to keep up with the demand.

I am tired of this America bashing if you cant tell.
