perhaps anyone chosing to buy a european car instead of british , asian or north american one !!!
would we really miss most german french or italian cars ?? trucks or vans ??? It would be harder for comercails but the euro cars are very much
average compared with the japanese and even the korean stuff until its high end otherwise you would have a Kia as a company car instead of a stty audi...
Let me know when any British (or even Far Eastern) manufacturer makes anything that truly compares with a 5 series.would we really miss most german french or italian cars ?? trucks or vans ??? It would be harder for comercails but the euro cars are very much

I've done nearly 14k miles in mine since June - I can drive for 4-5 hours and get out fresh for a meeting. You're not doing that in a Hyundai. Or even a Jaguar.

Give over will you. BMW have been working overtime to re-compete with Jaguar of late. If the price differential twixt Jaguar and BMW increases in the Jags favour then it would be a personal decision to stump up the extra and not based on VFM. I suspect, however, than BMW daren't increase their prices significantly.
There's still a significant quality and technology gap. And the Ingenium diesel is still not as good as the BMW 20d.But this isn't the place for this discussion!

I note that many Brexiteers still think we are living in the days of the Empire where we could dictate to half the world how we wanted to do business with them. We are now a relatively insignificant little island nation, with increasingly insular views through our rose tinted glasses.

You will in a lexis though I've done nearly 14k miles in mine since June - I can drive for 4-5 hours and get out fresh for a meeting. You're not doing that in a Hyundai. Or even a Jaguar.

Your language projects your own prejudices and bitterness, clearly you want to run the UK into the dirt unless we are prepared to conform to your political vision.Voting for brexit expresses no desire to be insular (quite the reverse) or dictate anything to anyone, and voters fully expected it to have some inconvenient repercussions - but when you have gone a long way down a wrong road it is a weary trudge back to the right path.
But insignificant? Expected 5th largest global nominal GDP (IMF) for this year, and 2nd in Olympics medal list, and English the universal language etc. etc. - you really are in absolute delusional denial. The UK is a global powerhouse and beacon and punches far above its weight.

We may be a paper tiger, but nobody has come close enough to poke us with a stick yet. davepoth said:

Wel, we are now falling down the GDP table as our currency is 'readjusting'. I reckon we are just below India now.Voting for brexit expresses no desire to be insular (quite the reverse) or dictate anything to anyone, and voters fully expected it to have some inconvenient repercussions - but when you have gone a long way down a wrong road it is a weary trudge back to the right path.

We've been told by the Brexiteers our currency was over valued, but then told we are some kind of powerhouse because of our distorted GDP.
The interesting one is the GDP per capita based on standard of living, we don't do so well there. This again is only going to get worse as our currency falters.
Bringing the Olympics into this is a moot point as it's widely accepted we over invested in elite sports. It's cyclical, we will get a phase of under investment followed by a national crisis when we fail at a games in the future.

Talking out your arse on this one too. Still 5th, India are 7th.Projection for 2020 is India will just pip the UK and France, France will be below UK. These figures are in US $ too.
http://statisticstimes.com/economy/countries-by-pr... base source is IMF, who have constantly got the UK figures under what they actually achieve too.

Andy, would you not agree that allowing people to keep more of their income would influence GDP?
It might. But then again it might not.RYH64E said:

All eligible for ER at 10% in your exit strategy (be wary of excessive surplus cash if this is your plan).
It's plan A, providing the rules don't change. The warning on excessive surpluses is a good one too.
