how_supra

As a favour I don't mind taking your sup along for the evening, just so it doesn't feel too left out.

WOW. Looks really nice. I really like the bumper, think you should keep it numberplate-less, as it suits it down to the ground Now you seen it properly [ish], is there anything you want to change when you get her? Its so exciting.

Te he - sometimes I feel so neglected

It seems like a load of old tosh to me. Family income = high interest in current affairs = low housing - with mortgage = very high educated to degree = Medium couples with children = high have satellite TV = high How does the last one fit in?

ooo how exciting.

who tooo???

uh oh - its your age.........

New year sounds good for me.........

24 [although I don't have a supra.............

Te he. I am like the annoying little voice in your head.........nag nag nag nag but it is for the good of the people....................

hmmm well I like your wheels..........

Christian Did anyone tell you its bad luck to be supersticious

He's not a member on here is he?

Also for all of you who do not know, the last one, generated a piccy for the 2006 calender - so you wouldn't want to miss out would you I will try and prompt James to post up last years video...............

Don't forget peeps. [nice plug Si] James has about 12 radios at home as well, hopefully he will remember to bring them with us on Thursday....

Paul, sorry to hear that you sold her. Its a shame. I hope you got what you wanted. ooo and stick around definately.

Most suppliers were sensible had them on proforma................ My sympathies definately to the work force.

Does anyone else think that the Rover 75 looks like a Jag? [or should that be the other way round? ]

Do you have any better pictures?

But surely that wouldn't work. The reason why a lot of business has been outsourced to china and india is because of the cheaper overheads - IE labour rates for example. Raw materials, specifically metals - stainless steel and copper for example are set on the London Metal Exchange and you can't alter those. If they set up shop over here, their overheads would rocket through the roof, and they would not be able to compete in the same way?

On the other side, it has just made me chuckle........

We used to supply direct to Rover ourselves. As a UK manufacturer it is really tough times to be trading in the UK. Alot of emphasis on eastern block and far eastern companies and major OEMS themselves [iE Ford Group, GM etc] are pushing for suppliers [like us] to look abroad for supply of parts in order to meet their strict cost down targets each year, or lose the business to our competitors - competitors in China etc. They seem to get the best of both worlds, major engineering support and quality assured products and far eastern prices. The Govt should have stepped in with Rover without a doubt, if only to preserve a manufacturing presence in the UK, before it all gets outsourced The whole thing is just depressing.

I can't make either of those dates. This weekend I will be craming for exams, and the following weekend I am supposed to be off to Spain [yipppeee].

Cracks me up every time I see that.
