Move it to Germany or say its German managed and those who buy them now will buy them then. Things change,... nobody would have bought a Skoda 15 years ago! See what VW did there.

Your blind faith is touching if the style and build quality stays the same people wont give a fock if John or Fritz build it. Knock a few grand of the price because of cheaper labour costs and they would shift even more. Don't need to know too much about Bently... its simple give the punters what they want at decent quality and price and they rip your arms off.

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.

There is a toma to get excited about!

your quotes are selective. As just one for instance. The Australian government have said they will begin to formally discuss any trade deal until they have concluded a deal with the EU. The yanks have said the same.

The japenese foreign minister is the one saying their companies staying in the uk is conditional on access to the single market. Luckily our PM is keeping her powder dry and in time the rhetoric will stop and the full consequences of brexit will become clear.

Chances of article 50 being triggered 50/50

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!

At least she won't forget changing her mind being a woman. <laugh>
