Uh Oh what's that about Fiats and Alfa's?



V W Emissions Scandal - Aloysius - 29-09-2015

That's not true - you can call yourself anything you like - however inaccurately!

 

I haven't owned an Alfa - would a Ferrari be OK, or a Bugatti, or a 1928 Plymouth?



V W Emissions Scandal - Aloysius - 30-09-2015

I asked first!!! :rundog:



V W Emissions Scandal - radioholic - 30-09-2015

Haven't read the start but I'll comment anyway

 

 

From what I understand America wanted to sue VW?   Are any of the people that own a VW going to see that money?

Quote:and what was the question ?

 

what do Alfa/Fiat have to do with VWs and AUDIs emission cheating devices anyway?

 

go Aloy, stick up for the underdog VAG as they emit billions of tons of illegal pollution into the atmosphere, charging prices for cars based on performance figures only obtainable by switching off their emissions controls

 

was that your point ? "what about the others"

 

:rundog:
 

This was the question:

This is your translation:

 

'go Aloy, stick up for the underdog VAG as they emit billions of tons of illegal pollution into the atmosphere, charging prices for cars based on performance figures only obtainable by switching off their emissions controls'

 

 

How you made that leap of 'logic'  only you can tell., you little lover of all things Italian you, don't you understand when your leg is being pulled? :ras:

"Uh Oh what's that about Fiats and Alfa's ?"

 

 

I give up, what is that about Fiat's and Alfa's?

 

 

 

 

OVER TO YOU FOR AN ANSWER >>>>>>>>
 

 

A joke does not require an answer mon ami!! :Hug:


V W Emissions Scandal - Aloysius - 05-10-2015

Er Tony who?



V W Emissions Scandal - Aloysius - 06-10-2015

I'm glad I didn't buy a diesel VW!!!

 

Resale value must be fukced



V W Emissions Scandal - POWERZONE - 06-10-2015

The obvious question would have to be... if your vehicle's emission control doesn't work, should it pass a rego check given it's technically now illegal to drive?

 

"In the post 27a chew 'o' chew era you just pulled all the pipes out and reset your timing and your car might be able to pull the head off a beer... lol"



V W Emissions Scandal - Aloysius - 10-10-2015

Heh Heh you don't get the picture do you!



V W Emissions Scandal - Aloysius - 10-10-2015

Geez I hope no one here is super sensitive about Italian manufacturers :dance:  :Talking:  :notworthy:  :Hug:



V W Emissions Scandal - Aloysius - 12-10-2015

I saw a ferrari on the road the other day - actually moving. :Sleepy:

Quote:btw, at least Italy has a motor vehicle industry :bee:

 

doing quite well too

 

not involved in any emissions scandal, not caught cheating and more importantly still winning races and staying more than competitive

 

not to mention the future

 

actually i think Czechoslovakia has a healthier motor car industry than uzz at the mo :Cowboy:

 

... pardner
 

 

Are Skoda's made in the Czech republic?

 

There is no Czechoslovakia anymore.

 

 

Actually I'm quite happy to buy vehicles that other folks feel they need to subsidise - pure self interest of course.

Momentary aberrations.

 

Trucks use diesel - it's always going to be the prime carbon fuel.
