<div>My 2012 Accord is built in Ohio with American and Japanese parts, but everyone still calls it a Japanese car. My 2000 F 150 is made in America, but the engine is built in Canada and I found "Made in Mexico" on the rear leaf springs. That's called an American truck. Now I have been told my Harley Davidson has Japanese parts on it. I hope not. The only pure design I have is my Bugeye and my BN2. Conceived, built and parts sourced from one country. That's why you can say, "they don't make 'em like that anymore."</div><div>Mike MacLean</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div id="composer_signature"><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757">Sent via the Samsung GALAXY S® 5, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone</div></div><br><br>-------- Original message --------<br>From: Martyn Ridley via Spridgets <spridgets@autox.team.net> <br>Date: 12/17/2015 1:51 PM (GMT-08:00) <br>To: spridgets@autox.team.net <br>Subject: Re: [Spridgets] Fwd: I've gone to the Dark Side- <br><br>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">So I have a an "American" car (Jaguar -
owned by Ford at the time) made in England, I still think its
British, as is my Japanese car (Honda SiR) made in England (where
my MGB body came from). Who gives a 'flying puck'? (note CDN
reference to keep tone civil). But to be honest, not all Minis
come from Blighty, the ones on steroids are made in Austria.<br>
And as for 'American cars', many are now made in Mexico, or
Canaada, does that devalue the "Detroit dinosaur" worse than it
already is?<br>
<br>
There really is no 'dark side' only 'butter side down', its all
toast - really.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
