Think I will be OK, however, never say never.

 

This just goes to show how bad the global motor industry is at the moment. This plant is probably the most cost effective and efficient plant on the planet and still not in a position to ride out the storm scheduled for 2009.

That's it mate. It's only a temp measure.

We have a new car to launch at the beginning of next year.
