    I know they're on recall because some have fallen apart.

    But what's the fault causing them to fall apart?

    Dodgy castings, innit?
    Loz would love to find out that they subbed the casting out to BMW.

    IIRC BMW did have a problem with alloy wheels cracking on one of the
    boxer models a few years back. I'm sure they issued an official recall
    on them.

    I don't get this. Here we are well into in the third millennium and so
    called high profile manufacturers are continuing to turn out things like
    dodgy castings on our toys. How the **** do they do it and more to the
    point how the **** do they have the fucking gall to pretend that some
    kin half baked non admission to bunch of plagiarising piss heads with
    poor social and even poorer language skills who constitute the so called
    fucking independent press and a minor defect recall constitutes a proper
    fucking apology to us?

    Now don't get me wrong, I know there is a chance that it will mean a
    broken kwaka rider here and there but who gives a toss about that.
    What pisses me off is that it is a major corporation who wants our
    loyalty, both as customers and shareholders, in the future and is not
    prepared to pay for it with half decent quality control and proper pre
    production testing. Fucking accountants running the business again
    innit.

    What is it with these people? Just because they can do fucking sums
    they get to claim rights to financial management and we fucking let
    them. It is just plain kin stupid.

    Well bollocks to you Mr Kawasaki and all yer fucking pencil toting poofy
    mates who claim they can turn on a calculator. Can they put a price on
    public perception for you?

    As far as I am concerned you can take yer manufacturer pre-broken
    ZX10Rs, yer perfect balance sheets and business plans and stick them
    right up your fixed asset register. You won't find me in the shops
    looking to buy the falling apart as it comes out of the box shite you
    are making today.

    Although something like this: http://tinyurl.com/4yeen, if it were in
    the one true colour, could be very tempting.

    Whilst the least you could do is read the ffaq before posting to a news
    group. Now **** off and do it and when done come back and explain in a
    proper fashion what you mean.

    The least they could do is give you the loan of another toy while they fix
    yours.

    What toys do you think I'm referring to? Hang on a minute, I see your point.
    I could mean your toys, as they appear to be broken since you threw them
    from your pram.

    Just **** off and save your bile for someone who give a shit what you think.

    Sort your postings, mate. We all post at the bottom here and it would
    be good if you would conform. All the info you need is in the uk.r.m.
    FAQ, which I'm sure you can find.

    Or you can just **** off - your call.

    drugs began to take hold. I remember "Cybernaut"
    LOL! You clueless fuckwit.

    Cybernaut secured a place in history by writing:
    Everyone in here gives a shit what Auvache thinks....not because he is
    Auvache, but because he thinks right. You, on the other hand, are behaving
    like a newby cnut and will get treated like one until you read the FFAQ.
    Now **** off, and don't come back until you've done as requested.

    Aye, that's a given. The model designation would have "i" as its
    first letter though.
