It was just the way Pt 5 finished with the money man saying that finance in the city could probably be found as the business could be sound. Was kinda pissed when it went no further, but funny as fuck to see that the doco was on the Money Programme.

Youtube search Porsche Megafactories. Those Germans are awesome at making cars.

Germany and Japan - interesting how things turned out in the long run.

In the long run, Nissan's Sunderland plant is their best performing factory worldwide.

I blame the lefties. The communists turned Skoda (one of the great European engineering firms) into a joke which had to be rescued by the Germans and the Unions turned the entire British car industry into a joke which had to be rescued by the Japs and Germans...
