BBC2 Working Lunch Friday 30/07 12.30

[londonwelsh]

Just announced they will be broadcasting from the factory tomorrow...the Blackpool one ... rather than Moscow or somewhere similar!

[swilly]

It would be a good idea if some one could get this recorded and downloadable.

Ben "Samuels" doesn't come across too well in this format! But the enthusiasm is there - woder if all the staff are as excited or whether it's just propaganda? (sorry for the flash of cynicism!)

At least I now know who Tracey is....(Dave Batty commented once that he'd seen an ECU with "Tracey made this!!!" written on it.)

[GCerbera]

Didn't see all of it as the phone went (just got up a cleared off?!), but previously
just £150 spent a year on advertising?

Nice to see Ben Samuels (where did the 'on' go?) eating his words about British car firms being bought by foriegn companys. Full order books? Which model currently has a 2½ year waiting list? Still, better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.. just.

speaking as a health and safety representative, why was she soldering without adequate fume extraction

[ewenm]

Bet some dealers have a bigger ad budget.

2.5 years wait for the Typhon perhaps?

The 2007 Le Mans winner???

But how many potential customers don't know they exist and what the cars are?

And how can they effectively advertise anyway in these anti-speed obsesssed times? Who's got a tv that'll get the proper bass of the exhaust over?

I don't see many ads for Ferrari or Porsche either (these days).

My Griffs ECU has Tracey on it! Had to reset it last week to try and sort out a 45 code (lambda sensor stacked)

Not entirely true...
