Car discussion from De Bruyne thread

[bluesince76]

Have a word with yourself Daz. Rolls Royce - BMW owned. Bentley - VW owned. Jaguar (part of Jaguar Land Rover) - owned by Tata (India)

Thought the question was made, not where they were owned

 

[BlueDruid]

Surely this should be KDB not MPG (and I won't even mention MDM)

 

[FanchesterCity]

Belgian cars it is then!

Rolls Royce, Bentley, jaguar, Aston Martin, mcclaren...

Are basically German technology assembled by Brits... The others have outside influences also

Boats?

Don't you start - it was bad enough when people were straying off topic & discussing cars!

 

[Bluemanc100]

Aston Martin are owned by Ford now too

Wrong...... they were a partnership that ended some time ago... (Ford have a minority share only)

Why buy that shit when you could support and buy from our very own

Far from "shit" you crack on with the UK supplier I'll take the Huf-Haus, they do say "buy cheap buy twice"

I'll get this in before the thread goes back on topic

 

[Happy Feet]

I would say KDB is at Aston Martin level but has a chance of becoming a RR.

giggles but perfectly true

If KDB signs, I'm sure he'd appreciate the craftsmanship brought about by the local talent, such as Sterling and Hart, and the way they grow and stitch the leather. Although your Schweinsteigers can do the technology, the hand built element is still done here.



Think that was almost on topic

so glad we have moved on from Ged Lada Brannan

And Ingerbritsen (spelling ) was a Fjord

Sheikh Mansour's boat is

With a length of over 482 feet, the Topaz is among the largest private luxury yachts in the world. It is owned by billionaire Mansour bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and member of the Abu Dhabi royal family. Interestingly, Sheikh Mansour— as the prince is known— is also passionate about soccer and owns the English soccer team Manchester City. The stunning yacht excels not only for its monumental size but is also one of the most luxurious and comfortable we have seen. (along with Azzam and Lady Moura)It is equipped with a gym, swimming pool, two hot tubs, a conference room, movie theater and lift, as well as two heliports. Its interior was custom designed by Terence Disdale and the exterior by the renowned team of Tim Heywood Design. The skillful engineers from Lurssen Yachts shipyards in Bremen-Vegesack, Germany were responsible for the construction of this beautiful vessel.

No, the original point was not buying german cars, not supporting the german economy. You could build a bentley on the moon, and the profits are still going back to the fatherland!

 

[KenTheLandlord]

Anyone who buys a German car full stop should look at themselves in the mirror IMHO

I should hope so. Mirror Signal Manoeuvre. Standard driving protocol.

I personally don't care if the money goes to the german economy, stuff made in the UK can do one for me, our workers are some of the wost for one thing.

When you buy a golf for example you get a car that is 100% made in wolfsburg...the polo is made in spain, but who cares about the polo, cars in that price bracket are much of a muchness anyway.

The people running this country don't need extra car profits to continue ruining things.

Cheers Col, you won't want a lift in my beemer then?

I don't imagine you spend a great deal of time looking in a mirror Ian
