| 1296280 | 2012-08-23 01:02:00 | Here. (www.youtube.com) Why is it everything New Zealand buys is broken. Helecopters, Armoured Personal Vechiles, 757s, Aermacchi Jets, now the trains from China, almost forgot to mention the Cook Strait Ferrys. :) |

| 1296281 | 2012-08-23 01:14:00 | It's because New Zealanders can't spell. We get what the tender documents call for :banana | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 1296282 | 2012-08-23 01:34:00 | Simple answer, because as a nation we can't afford the good stuff. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1296283 | 2012-08-23 01:43:00 | Yep we bought the cheapest, we bought cheap commie chinese junk. Now kiwi rail will spend a fortune on rewinding alternators once they are out of warranty. Macchis airframe ok, it is well built but the problem is the junk RR Viper turbojet. | prefect (6291) | ||

Helecopters, Armoured Personal Vechiles, 757s, Aermacchi Jets, now the locomotives from China, almost forgot to mention the Cook Strait Ferrys. :) FTFY :) On this note, the locomotives we purchased in 1972 still had teething issues in 1975, and all but one of these locomotives are still in service today. So I'll wait a couple more years :) |

| 1296287 | 2012-08-23 02:20:00 | Simple logic: Our nation is poor, very poor. We can't afford to buy quality stuff; we can only afford to buy junks. |

They don't think ahead, false economy buying **** that breaks in 5 minutes, buy quality in the first pace. But they don't care, they'll flog it off later anyway... |
