"All the funeral plans and directors. I'd give them the option to make them fun rather than having to be traditional. I know I know, how fun can a funeral be? Well, as comical and celebratory of life as you wanted it. Pall bearers in clown shoes, Y shaped coffins for out n proud swingers if that's what they fucking wanted. Death is hard, and I feel we get so lost in the torment and tradition that we forget and don't always allow ourselves to have a laugh. We often feel guilt for laughing and berate ourselves for being heartless and convince ourselves we're cunts for finding some iota of joy. When the reality is the person in the coffin would very probably be proud to have loved ones around smiling and laughing, knowing that in their last hurrah, they put a smile on the faces of those they cared about " I really like this | |||

You need to take on the Japanese if you want to be building world class cars. Mine's 16 years old and done 80k miles since I got it.
This country said no to VW after WWII."Really don't know where you get that information from VW are the highest selling car manufacturer in the UK. https://www.best-selling-cars.com/britain-uk/2021-full-year-britain-best-selling-car-brands-in-the-uk/ Was that meant to be 80k miles or 800k miles. Because 80k is nothing special. I've owned a few car that have done over 200k. One VW and the other a Peugeot. | |||

This country said no to VW after WWII."Think you may need to update your mileage expectations. My last two cars have were an Audi and a BMW and took both well over 200k - both in their original clutches too. My step son had the Audi after me, replaced the clutch around 230k and sold it with 250k on the clock. Re JLR, taking on the big German manufacturers is exactly what they are doing. Look at a review for the Disco sport for example and it will be compared with an X3, Q5 or XC60 (ok, the Volvo isn't German). They certainly fall in the same - if not higher - price bracket. I doubt there are any major businesses I could run better though undoubtedly lots I would consider making more ethical. Mr | |||

"If I had that amount of obscene money I'd end world poverty tomorrow, and be happy with the legacy rather than trying to earn more money buying a company...some people are just so god damned fucking greedy!!" You wouldn't live very long. You would meet a unexpected accident. Keeping people poor ( in their place) is in the interest of a lot of influential powerful groups. | |||

May 1945: The heavily bombed factory comes under British military control, to be used as an army maintenance depot. August 1945: Under the terms of the Potsdam Agreement between the USSR, USA and UK, the plant is liable for dismantling as part of war reparations because it had been used for military production, but British officer Major Ivan Hirst persuades his commanders of the potential of the car. September 1945: The British Army places an order for 20,000 vehicles to meet its own needs running post-war Germany. 1946: Production reaches 1,000 vehicles a month, and the car and company are renamed Volkswagen. 1948: The British Army offers the plant to representatives from the US, Australian, British, and French motor industries - but all reject it. Ferdinand Porsche's design company, which eventually becomes Porsche itself, is paid a licensing fee by VW for use of the Beetle. Over the coming decades, the Porsche and VW companies will remain linked via a complex legal framework." and for a more detailed history back to day one... "Markus Lupa The British and Their Works.

Because 80k is nothing special. I have put on 80,000 miles, taking it up to 153,000 miles to date, so pushing it through the 160,000 barrier is only months away. The 200,000 mile barrier is what I'm aiming for. " | |||
