Yeah, but they don't look like they used to. It's like calling that BMW a 'Mini.' How dare they!!! |

The best cars in the world are made in good old Sussex by the Sea. who owns the marque now? what engines are in them? (1.Germans and 2.BMW) When you think RR built the Merlin engine for (amongst others) the WW2 spitfire and BMW built engines for German fighter it all seems its them who won after all...and Bentley are owned by VW... |

That will do for me. If we followed your analogy then all but one or two of the premiership clubs would be British. |

Imagine buying a Nissan and finding a Ford engine or a Fiat with a Vauxhall engine in it, wouldnt happen would it |

I drove a 1.7 diesel cavalier back when I was new to this game. I'm sure it had an Isusu engine |
