Excellent - looking forward to reading this, and showing it to my mate who works for a Midlands based components manufacturer who supply brands such as JLR, Aston Martin, and Bentley.

Oh, and also to my OH whose only comment was: "You paid £10 for a book? From some bloke you've never met? On the internet? - Try not to do it again!" smile

Mine arrived today!

I'm excited. No one else in the household gets why I'm excited at all.

"some bloke writing about car factories?"
"er...it's not worth explaining. Either read it or don't get it"

I sent another c.120 out today, quite a few foreign ones (US, Oz, Latvia, Norway!) and of course loads to the UK. The rest will go out next week, along with the e copies.

Any more feedback? smile

An interesting review you've got on Amazon!




"Some of the words were quite long, although with help I got through it eventually. The pictures were my favourite part, but now those pages are stuck closed.

This book is the literary equivalent of supermarket own-brand honey roast ham; wafer thin, cheap, watery in places with an occasional bit of gristle, but lovely and you wolf it down in one sitting anyway. Probably with spreadable cheese."

feedback you say?? What like "Omar" on amazon. Hmmmm.

Well, you'll need a luxury, leatherbound limited edition hand numbered full colour version, maybe with a forward by that 'farkin Ford bloke so you can blag a great spot at Goodwood, le mans, etc to sell these vastly overpriced limited editions... biggrin

What would be really interesting is to follow-up. I know many of the factories are not there today, but those that are, have they changed? Are they still behind the curve quality-wise, or have they improved??

You really did make my day!

Mildly NSFW, so open spoiler at your peril smile



An exquisitely detailed member, sir. I doff my hat to you.
