Five year waiting list..

Mind you, you are right about incompetent inept management. I waste time and money restoring a a Triumph Stag. The cooling system had a huge design flaw that became apparent on the prototypes but because the permission to alter signature was on leave, it was decided to continue to production selling a faulty car. A memo mentioned that it would be a good idea if Lucas designed and sold customers a replacement kit once the fault showed itself.

The one interesting part of this is how one of the elements, Unipart, have gone on to become a huge success story. Their six sigma approach is something they sell to other industries and I encouraged NHS trusts to adopt their communication cell approach with huge success. One of my favourite companies.

Back to Scotland. Hillman Imp anyone?
