Why the England Flag on foreign cars?

[Malcstag]

I just dont get these guys riding around with an England flag on a BMW or jap car? Eh, what part of England are they supporting exactly?

Fully understand if its a chavball flag ie has football logo etc on there but not our belovedflag of St George damn it!..... I expect the flags are made in china too. OK, I give up, end of moan.

You vil all learn to valk like dis and speak jermun vun day!:shock:

Received a text the other day, it went something like this..

"Scientists have discovered that a large proportion of males have normal/large size penis's. However, there are still a few males with very small penis's. The scientists are very keen to quantify the exact figures so ask that all males with small penis's identify themselves by flying a white flag with a red cross on their vehicles.."

I think they may be demonstrating their support of the England football team and not worrying about the origins of their vehicle

Hello

This thread made me think of the last recession when the American motor industry was in the crapper. I remember seeing a news item from Detroit and a sign in the window of a diner saying 'Hungry? -Eat your Japanese car.'

Not to mention BMW own Triumph (or at least the Triumph car IPR).........and the cars are certainly designed / built in the same spirit.
On the basis that one cannot reallistically run a Stag 25k p/a at todays motorway speeds, exactly which British car should we run?
Hhmmm.

Of course it is - and I love it when I hear "I'm not a Johnny Foreigner, I'm pure Anglo-Saxon" !!

Wonder how many people know where Angeln and Saxony are

By the way, I thought Phil was Greek.

FFS, when it was wise to anglicise (!) the name Battenburg even the translation was dubious when it was changed to Mountbatten.

Anyway, if someone wanted to protest against BMW, Mercedes and co and went to a dealer today to buy a brand new all british car, what would he order? A McLaren MP4-12C?

Also at risk of appearing boring and factual: This hasn't been the German national anthem for decades. They dropped the first few verses after WW2.

and to be more boring and factual, the text never referred to a Deutschland towering above the rest of the world, but is a plea to put the welfare of the State above all else like personal gain. Perhaps if this had been true in the 1970's in UK, there would still be british cars instead of just rich City individuals.
