As many of use probabaly know, the waiting lists for 'exec' cars has always been some what artificle unless something truely obscure was ordered (like a BMW with a radio or ski hatch!)
Well, some of these cars are stored at Bruntingthorpe (BMW being one who use this facility) and at the monent there is one hell of a LOT of unsold cars there!)
So much so that it proved tricky to tow a certain 'big bird' to the engine test pan!

The good news is that enough money has been pledged to XH558 to keep it going for another year!

I suspect performing the engine test right there would relieve BMW of their headache!
Good to hear XH558 is flying again this year. :y

:o :(
same here.. Many Factories in [ch304]stanbul,Bursa,Eski[ch351]ehir stopped..
and fields are full of unsold cars..
But questions remain unanswered in my mind :
* why govt dont drop the 60-70 % tax on those new cars ? :-? thats for local made..imports over 2 liter have tax ratios of % 110 -120
* why factories dont drop the prices a bit ? :-?
stocking cost , when currencies are going rocket high
is proven to be deadly for production sector where many parts are
import.. :( :(
And why I cant buy a cheap Beamer ;D or Subaru ;D
I'll get me a coat ;D
