AsTVR have just laid off 90 people, no Brummies will ever get in. Besides, Blackpool to Birmingham is a fair old distance.

Rover'As *pats Chimaera*'
Which has a Rover V8, transmission and ignition. Doh! Best of luck when that goes wrong or needs spares.
Never mind, there's always the Lotus Elise... which up until recently had a Rover 1.8 motor in it. Doh!
Actually, that'd be a good compo' - Peel off your parts labels on your car or household white goods and if you reveal the word 'Rover' you lose. Ahh, think of the fun.
Seriously for a moment, the new Mini was designed, built and engineered by all the clever Rover bods at Longbridge. The result - BMW to scarper with it and make an absolute mint whith heaps of credit. Proof that us British engineers can make good cars but not decent managers, directors and accountants.
*Rant over - thinks of kittens and bunnies*
