If his cars are anything like his other products it'll be a re-run of the British car "industry" of the 70s.

Yep. Designed here using R&D grants and subsidies, so paid for by the taxpayer. Say what you like about Dyson, he’s an expert at getting something for nothing.....

If he launched them on November 5th, the local councils could save on firework bills.

Ah yes that's the reason the British car industry failed. Johnny Foreigner didn't invent anything and nicked all the British ideas.



Feck me you cretinous Brexiters really do live in a fooking alternative special universe that's all your own.

Like the indigenous electronics and computer industry, it was screwed up by successive know nothing governments.

Jaguar Rover Triumph was bad enough, joining that to the abortion that was BMC was beyond the pale.

Rover Production Director Bernard Jackman was responsible for putting the V8 engine into production. Speaking in 1974 he said: ‘It was one of the smoothest jobs we ever had, for it was a brilliantly designed engine from a manufacturing point of view.’

He added: ‘Its assembly costs are much less than for the four-cylinder engine, and its material costs are not very much more. It was a bit of a squeeze to get the V8 into the 2000 frame, but because it was wide and short we could just do it, with a few modifications to the panels and a few bulges here and there in the underskin.’

That V8 being, of course, sourced from the Buick Skylark & designed in Detroit by people who knew wtf they were doing.
