LAND Rover or RANGE Rover, Kendall?

Shanghaiceltic, you may be depressed by the UK's lack of presence in manufacturing markets, but the fact remains that the UK economy is bigger than those of the countries you cited.

There is immense engineering and technological competence in the UK - Oxford, Cambridge and the University of London (Imperial College) are still among the foremst in the world in this field. Car manufacture is not the best way to exploit it.
