If it was built in the UK yes it counted.

Certainly does mate, but it will have slightly better paintwork and better quality control.

I would give the guy from Japan, who knows how to screw a nut on correctly, the car.
But would he want it.

All in white pyjamas... No wonder so many civics fall apart. They're dressed to take a nap.

for a second I thought they'd put white viper stripes on it to celebrate...

Jack The Lad. · 12th November 2007, 22:16

No mate, thats the paint chipping off.

Am I on my own in being slightly proud of the fact that here in Britain despite our terminal ineptitude when it comes to managing an automotive business (or is it just the short-termism and greed that blinds UK managers) we can still get our heads together and make stuff? I know it's our "thing" to ridicule the efforts of our own people, but having spent quite a while running a manufacturing business and knowing how tricky it is in a very competitive global market, I take my hat off to the handful of UK car assembly plants that have made a success here.

And yes, I know the paint could be better (etc), but I hope that these companies continue to prop up our now almost non-existent manufacturing sector and prevent us all from being burger-flippers and middle-men.

Now, that feels better.

I must admit that on some 'down' days, I really do lament the fact that whilst I believe I do a pretty good job of doing what I do, it doesn't actually end up physically producing anything

Even back in the day when I rolled my sleves up and got involved in the nitty gritty stuff, all that I did at a base level was realign a few magnetic particles on a hard disc somewhere

so yes, I am in awe of anyone who can make a living in this day and age by physically producing something

I actually dont mind the look of them! Especially with the slight curve on.. Not sure they'd suit galaxy grey so well but on the red type r they're alright.
