I fully appreciate how dissapointing it must be to be British these days. The sun used to never set on the British empire, and now it has…and in a big way. That’s why I’m rather amused to listen to your rambling diatribe, your conjecture, your pointless banter.

Hey Madcapp You have two American brands left, 1 is about to get taken over by the french and japanese and the other is on the verge of death. On top of that around 75% rather go for a japanese which are shit anyway and the ones left rather buy european.

When rover died they had car made with peanut development cost but still 20 light years ahead of anycar made by the americans.

You are a retard go to sleep son.

I think Ford/BMW should just sell the whole thing off, Rover, Land Rover, everything.

As an aside – “first dibs” generally translates to “first right of refusal” in legal jargon.

(When Ford bought Land Rover from BMW, the German automaker agreed it would have first dibs on the Rover brand as well

I can just see those exact words on the Land Rover sales contract.

BMW gives Ford first Dibbs on the rover brand…
