Brexit hasn’t happened yet.

I’m failing to find the article on the economist. The problem is wind turbines size, and thus mass is increasing faster than the ships to build them. The installers and builders want to know they;ll get their money back and are holding off future orders. As a number of ship cranes built in the mid 2000s are now

That was the point of hummer. However that became a drain when we hit $5gas and a recession

oval track racing caught on as they took over horse tracks in the teens and twenties. also due to a number of crashes involving spectators and shutting down roads, road racing was under a lot of pressure in US, thus dedicated tracks for spectating.

Porsche margins are over 15% 3times BMW and Mercedes. Even if it cost more than a 911 to make, they can sell cheaper and break even.

that was probably staged. there was an article from someone hostng an awards ceremony, boris shows up late, rambles, flubs his speech and has the audience in stiches. months later same guy is hosting a cermony and he shows up late, rambles, gives exact same speech. Its an act. 

No he did that because annual employee turnover was over 100% and the 5$ only kicked in after a year. 

they used to have the 912 and then T (touring) versions, the standard being the 911L. These came and went when they had the 914, 924.(this gets weird as they have a 924 carrera). The 77-83 Super carrera (paying homage to the 356) was to be the last 911

I think it is a bit of hitting plateau in performance until the next innovation comes out. FI, variable vavle timing, DI, forced induction. It’s a load of money spent on R&D, and organizing production, instead of writing a check. It’s reinventing the wheel for a tiny percent increases.  

How does someone pull theirpants to their knees while running?

I think q4 2019 and q1 and q2 are going to suck.

The impact of brexit is going to be highly dependent if the british agree to the deal, or if boris goes full no deal. no deal means they have to trade on WTO terms with the EU (54% of their exports) cars would be 10%, dairy/livestock 35% with would wipe out those industries.

And that doesn’t even discuss how lowing import taxes is going to impact it.

the service interval on old engines, is @couple hundred miles. And you have to check every day.

In a general election, everyone votes for their local MP, who then the majority elect a prime minister. There was just an election in Dec 2017, and the former PM May, steps down. So the party then holds an election. In a party election only members, (due paying members get to vote) so if you paid the 15L to the tory

A few years ago I was on a ww1 book kick, guns of august, the sleepwalkers. etc. what really stuck, was how often people make thier plans and decsions on assumptions of what others will do, and not what others can do.

or going full hard border (which is poison to the unionist MPs from Northern Ireland).”

Yeah but Mays deal is dead, a second referendum is dead, revoking article 50 is still unacceptable. meanwhile the UK sleepwalks to oct 31.
