    Indeed, everyone thinks car manufacturing is the ultimate global export product. It is not.

    Trump is turning the USA into a global hyper-power. China are fooked.

      Exactly, the ultimate global export is putting a man on the moon. I for one can’t wait for that momentous day, just hope it happens in my lifetime.

        I think you will find the USA are the main thieves when it comes to copyright...

            China to match US trade sanctions blow for blow

            China playing hard ball. Should be good for European exports.

              How is your bottom-feeder contracting career progressing? Stayed at any lovely B&B's recently?
              Mind you there might come a time, post brexit, when you might look at your itinerant-gyppo jobbing journeyman past with nostalgia.
              Hard Brexit now!

                With luck, we will reach the day when we can put a man the size of MF on the moon.

                  We know that. But American cars are symptomatic of their malaise. They can't build a single decent one.

                  Just like their fighter jets. Guess what though, the UK has agreed to spend billions to buy this crap:

                    They have different ideas on what makes a good car. They don't have the same small, bendy roads that we have. And their fuel costs are still lower than ours. So larger, more comfortable cars that don't handle particularly well are fine over there.

                    The f-35 has had issues but also many people like it and prefer it's stealthy approach. It's good that it can also take off from our carriers.

                    America has issues but I don't think you can just come out with big statements like general malaise without backing it up.

                      It might be easier if we can move the moon so it can land on MF.
