Thread Name: BS: Chinese MGs
Subject: RE: BS: Chinese MGs
I was working at Jaguar when Japanese engineers visited car factories to see how we made cars, and the rest, as they say, is history.
In India, they make a very old model Morris, and an old model Royal Enfield motorbike. Russian Ladas were originally Fiats.
The last of the English MGs were reputed to be very good sports cars, maybe someone here could tell us.
Japanese firms are now outsourcing like mad, my Makita tools are mostly made in China.
I just bought a Chinese outboard motor, for 4000 reasons. It is supposed to be an old-model Yamaha. I can remember when Yamahas were supposed to be ripped-off Evinrudes!
