So TVR production is to restart. In Germany!!!

I, for one, will never buy a german TVR.

Another one of Mr Mandelson's (The Business Secretary) friends!!!

Its also going to be built to meet US (and Californian in particular) Design rules which makes me think it won't be as good as it would have been had they not.

sadly, i agree with the view that a tvr built abroad isnt a tvr...its wrong.
bring them home.

Looks like Project Satan from Futurama

If only they had used established power-plants a while back, then they just might have still been making them in Blackpool!

A TVR made abroad is not a real TVR to me!

I cant see this going well for them to be quite honest....

why? so you won't eat cadbury's creme eggs either?

We have no home grown mass produced car industry.

Most of what we buy is made abroad.

We no longer make stuff but are a nation of bankers (is the first letter the right one?)

... and not very good one's (apparently!).

For me, TVR lost it after the Cerbera and made too many coupes, and i don't care what anyone says that speed 6 engine killed off TVR, i would like to see the marque return but with proper sports cars( two seater convertibles), having said that i already have one(as we all do)which will run rings around most of them.

I disagree with the statement that we have no mass produced car industry in this country, we do, it just happens to be mostly owned by foreigners.

Don't forget about Manganese Bronze Holdings PLC, the closest thing to a true volume british car maker, they've less than 500 employees and have made over 10,000 cars, and most of us see there cars everyday.

For the same reason that I won't buy a german car, period.

This is the race that single handedly is responsible for more death and destruction than any other nation in the last 2000 years. And they tried it twice.

Then, they benefit from having their country flattened by being rebuilt by the rest of us.

Back to the case in point, see my other post about this governments green policy and co2 emmissions and remember that Smolensky is a friend of the business secretary Mr Mandelson and it's another outfit closing production in the UK.

And no if creme eggs are made in germany I won't eat them. No skin off my nose. But then again I doubt much will be left of Cadbury after Mendelson allowed their wholesale destruction, sorry purchase.

slight change in subject, but i think christianity kinda beats germany on the whole killing lots of innocents...

morcus - 3/3/10 at 03:49 AM

Probably Russia as well, in fact it deffinitly does.

Stalin certainly went well beyond what Hitler did in number terms and he had longer to practise. Also the Flu outbreak of 1919 worldwide killed more people than where killed in the WWI.
