    I'm afraid you're total clueless,VW have owned the company for 20-25 years and could probably have made them cheaper the whole of that time.The thing is though people who buy the most prestigious car in the world don't buy them because they are cheap,price isn't something people who can afford them worry about.They buy them because they are largely hand made by very skilled workers and as a status symbol you couldn't just move the factory because you can't just get 4-5'000 skilled workers out of thin air,they take many years to train.

    Have you ever experienced a country without free trade deals,Let me tell you about NZ before they had free trade deals with OZ,Japan etc.Honda,Toyota,Nissan,Vauxhall,Ford all didn't like paying tariffs to bring cars into the country so all of them built assembly plants to Assemble the cars in NZ creating thousands of jobs.When free trade deals were signed everyone of them shut down and imported the cars.Don't be surprised if BMW,VW,VOLVO AND MERCEDES all build factories here as they sell lots of cars here and tariffs would cost them billions.

    Chips, when you piss off to Spain, will you become a spaniard or remain a brit? In a few years when you find out, and you will, that you were wrong, will you go crawling back to the UK? Will you hold on to your British Passport or trade it in for a Spanish one?

    Yeah Spain is still a bit too close, Aussie land or New Zealand sounds a better option..........although I'd say there may be a lot ex-pats buggering off back to Blighty...:emoticon-0105-wink:

    I was going before Brexit and I will have bases here and there. As Olof said best of both worlds.

    Happy to mate but that would involve you having to talk to her, so do you see the flaw in your idea? <laugh>

    You could talk to her... Problem solved.

    She seems to have decided that we are buying a villa/house rather than the building plot we said next week.
    The ones she is picking out seem to involve all the budget. <doh>
    If she could retain a thought!
