I almost added my ex from Swansea in here, but I thought I’d be nice.

He got bitten by a snake... In Wales?

Ouch, I’m guessing Sprinters are so expensive because of the re-assembly required for the US? They’re normally about the same price as an equivalent Transit here in the UK, but I’m not sure how much Transits cost over there either. You can get a basic one for about £25k here.

Quite a frustrating law really, they’re very popular in Europe, I mean it’s a crew cab with room for equipment in the back, it makes sense really, crew cab pickups are popular in the US too, so surprised they’ve worded the law in such a way to not support crew cab vans, European Transits can come like this too.

So you basically want one of these? They call them a dualiner in Europe.

Two way street that’s a 60mph street, that I will be doing 50mph down in my 3.5 tonne delivery van.

I’m pretty sure my E46 330i touring is going to get me kicked out of my Dad’s house. Currently has no power steering pump attached to it after it grenaded itself a few weeks ago leaving ATF all over the road outside his house in middle class suburbia.

It’s probably another facelift rather than an entire new car, but as 365Daytonafan points out, they’re about to release a new one in Europe next year.

This isn’t a current generation Fiesta, they wouldn’t have camo on the lights if it was, also there’s one on my drive and the rear lights are quite different, I’m sure. It’s a decent sneak preview of what the next gen Fiesta will look like.

MiG-29s tho, only 30 or so, but they’re not something to be laughed at.

I agree, Nissan are very happy with the Sunderland plant and it’s efficiency and productivity. But if they’re not going to make them here if they’re getting charged an extra 10% in taxes, or at least not as much.

Actually it’s more a threat that they don’t want to pay tariffs on cars they currently export tariff free, which is a fair argument imo. Nothing stopping them moving production to Nissan Spain, and the Renault factories. 

Definitely would, Renault have had trouble with cutting production at some of their plants politically, moving Qashqai, Juke, Note, Q30, and Leaf production to France would be huge, especially since Renault plants already produce cars that are based on the same platform, apart from the Q30.

I’m not sure it was, (I’m not 100% sure on this so I might be wrong), I think we’re producing more cars now then we ever have. Just not many with a British name badge on them. Mainly Nissans, Hondas and Toyotas.

Not sure the UK government could actually afford concessions at all to avoid any EU taxes. We can afford nuclear missiles though apparently.

The funny thing is, apart from Newcastle, all the local areas who have a large number of people, directly and indirectly employed by Nissan, voted massively to Brexit. Sunderland, where the factory is, was one of the highest percentages too. *sigh*

It’s been hilarious in “oh shit, some old people may have fucked my future up hahahahaha” kind of way, when you live here.

Now playing

Sorry to do this to you. But they’re more than just amber.

Ohhhh the part about Britain they don’t like. Saying the UK is better, but I offended my Irish friends by saying NI is part of Britain, it’s the UK dammit. Still slightly afraid they’ll leave a car bomb outside my local supermarket after that.
