Its not Ripspeed I find offensive so much as the idiots who sell it.
Guess your referring to people like me who happen to work at Halfords?

In its earlier incarnation Ripspeed were purveyors of quality tuning gear, wheels and tyres. Their Mini (Original type) was a regular feature on BBC when the Rallycross from Lydden Hill was on the tele.Mmm, Ripspeed used to be quite good back in the day when Keith Ripp started it, similar to Demon Tweeks. Pays your money & takes your choice I guess.
I
I don't know whether Keith Ripp sold out, went bankrupt or just retired and sold the name,
trawled around the whole shop in 20-odd minutes, didn't see a single thing I wanted to buy..,

Your kidding me right WHO-FLUNG-DUNG that's quality LololololWhen I've gone to replace the tyres on both our Panda and 156 the tyre dealers tried to tell me that a Hooflung Dung XT-Z95s

I've heard a few of these myself over the last couple of years and it can be summed up in very few words:
We-eell, sort of kidding. I can't remember the make but it might as well have been that.Your kidding me right WHO-FLUNG-DUNG that's quality Lolololol
Your kidding me right WHO-FLUNG-DUNG that's quality Lolololol
I think this is becoming the gulability forum.

I knew it was a **** take Maggie that's why I spelt it out and put a little next to it

Oh, you've mis-spelt it by the way. It's Whoflung Dung, not WHO-FLUNG-DUNG. Who says educational standards aren't slipping?
It's actually a bizarre and ancient form of Sechuan dialect that means:
"You'd rather spend your money on another few pints of Stella when you go to Spain with Cryanair than on something that might save your life. Cretin! Oh and don't blame us when your local Michelin, Pirelli and Dunlop factories close down"
Er, not you gadge.....obviously.
And in closing, I quote a brief conversation that Mao Tse Dong allegedly had with one of his acolytes in the early '70s:
"How will we defeat the Capitalist Lackey Yankee Running Dogs oh Glorious Leader?"
"We don't need to. The Capitalist Lackey Yankee Running Dogs will defeat themselves. Oh, by the way.....you forgot to mention Imperialist. Send yourself to a Re-education and Labour Camp for 200 years."
"Thank you oh Glorious Leader, but will you also be having my entire extended family executed as well?"
"Of course grovelling menial."
The above was a verbatim excerpt from a conversation Mao zedong had..... at least it was according to my entry for Socialism Today's Annual AmDram contest in 1974.
For some reason it wasn't accepted. Can't think why not.
Whatever you say buddy

Amidst all my waffle there is a (fairly) serious point to be made. It's probably getting to the point where some on here will be saying: "Oh no, not again." but I'm firmly of the belief that when we buy from China we're just putting ourselves out of a job.I knew it was a **** take Maggie that's why I spelt it out and put a little next to it
Whatever you say buddy
My mis-quote of Mao is because he was right. The quote I read was:
"How do we defeat the West?"
The answer was:
"The West will defeat itself."
And we're helping that prophesy along the way.
I have Nikon SLRs from the '70s that were made in Japan and my recently acquired D7000 DSLR and lens is made in China and I'm sure it's none the worse for it.Ahh now I get you and yes your right however it's very hard not to buy Chinese these days even trusted British brands are of Chinese origin....... You just have to hope that they have british quality standards
