Default 618 days till the bell tolls

It seems the British have peed down their own legs again!

Jaguar Land Rover opens first overseas engine plant in China | The Independent

Notwithstanding this, the new Discovery model will now be built in Slovakia and not in Britain.

It appears the EU are winning (no surprise there then) but make sure it doesn't happen in the US also, albeit it is at present the largest LR market place, but China isn't far behind.

I wonder how long before the D1, D2, D3 and D4 spares dry up for enthusiasts as we, globally, are not a resource just a PITA to them!

Now Vauxhall/Opel are to go and their parent company, PSA, will also ****** Nissan from under their noses whilst they procrastinate.

PS: BMW are mooted to build their new electric MINI in Germany, so it looks like the Cowley plant maybe under threat as well in the future.

PPS: This remark of Liam Fox is just too hilarious for words.

Liam Fox, you have just won the 'plonker of the year award' now go stick it where the sun don't shine eh .
