So there going to be made in China, so 20 mins after the first you want another.

Will they be like Haiundais, all sharp NASTY bits of metal, window regs breaking. Water leaks.

OR

Like the 2008 Onwards Honda Jazz - excact same QUALITY just vin says "China we love you long time"


OFF TOPIC:-

Had a guy in, he works here in Ingland the company he works for is Emerican.

What happens is they get a request from a costomer for a pumping station.

They desgin it, say it has two MASSIVE pressure vessels and a tiny pump
all drawn to scale.

They send them to the bloke think he's called Guppy in India, he then decides to redraw it, now either

1) Everything is a small image

2) Now has a pump bigg enough to pump out the north sea.

Just *HOPE* they get NO END of pompus Jag drivers MOANING there not made in Ingland.

a m8 of mine worked for jag in the old xjs days when the yanks owned it , one day the yanks had a meeting with the uk side and said " we have done the cat test and u have failed " the uk lads said " wot do u mean " the yanks said " we put a cat in the usa made jag and 12 hours later the cat died due to lack of air , we did the same with the uk made jag and in the morning we checked and the cat had escaped though the gaps "

Can not remember much way back in the 60s, when our Morris 1000 end production hear in Leyland most of the tools and equipment were shipped to India were they have been producing similar cars they changed the name to Ambassador??

OFF TOPIC:-

go fishing, see if you can t he peresses for the DMC 12

I'm unsure why you expect and Indian company to get our unemployment down, any particular reason they shouldn't be making profit for themselves? While LRJ may have been a British company at one time it no longer is, it was sold a long while back. Since companies are there to make profits for themselves and their shareholders I'd expect them to be making money however and wherever they can - normal practice really.

'Cos all the British car factories have Asian workers ?

Anyway, I wonder when I can order my new Land Lowver ?

It maybe to-let by the time you make order they will have changed the name, Asian Lower***8230;

They not building from scratch but a kit form being sent over from UK for them to re-assemble, keeping jobs here in UK.

JLR are a "UK" branded company albeit owned by an Indian company, Tata say JLR engineering, production etc will remain in UK.

WHOA, hang on, *NOT* having a go at you, cos your cool and have a ban botton.

Who ever decided to send out to China needs their arse kicking.

How long will it be before there opening a factory next door and making them under a different name?

OFF TOPIC:-

Can't tell you the name, but couple of years ago the China made a 'car'
100% (rumor) EXCACT verses BMW 'Mini' - except it had four doors, so therefore it "wasn't a copy, do you want fries with it."

ON TOPIC:-

a kit you say, well if your going to do that, then perhaps, you should

ADVERTISEMENT:-

As the factory is from scratch, get it to be made by Ikea. - flat pack.

As for this 415 Volts, no thanks.

OFF TOPIC:-

See on TV 'some time ago' bloke brought a microwave, new from shop, decided to check the fuse, Mr Wan-Kin had connected the live to the earth - ie machine was live!

STILL OFF TOPIC:-

I cut up a washing machine the other day, was horrified so see the earth, water and electrcity! - was basically the mounting lug, through paint!

Earth wire was MISSING!

What shit is going to happen with this lot?
