I agree with you, but you have to admit, we kind of do it to
ourselves as far as the reputation goes. Compare this list to a list
dealing with just about ANY non-British car, and it seems like all we
do is talk about problems with our cars and how to correct them.
Also, how many owners of new cars feel the need to drive around with
spare parts for their cars? I know several people on this list carry
spare fuel pumps around (at least) , and I think the Moss catalogue
even recommends it! :)
