SNAP,
Pardon me for pointing out that my 31YO S-Class MB is still a BETTER all-around motorcar than ALL of the so-called British "prestige" cars that are currently made.
Btw, at one time or other, I've owned most of the British "flagship" sports cars. = I even once owned a Daimler Dart 250 drop-head coupe & a Sunbeam Super Tiger, IF you remember those.
(My 14YO, but well-maintained, Porsche 356 dropead was a better car than my XKE was when new.)
OTOH, the known incompetence of British car-makers has nothing to do with how good/reliable that the .303 British cartridge is as a military/hunting round and/or its numerous "stepchildren" are NOR > 8 decades later, that the BHP is STILL a great choice as a "fighting" pistol, "when the chips are down". = I used to carry a PAIR of Canadian-contract BHP when I was stationed OCONUS.
yours, tex
