The cars they make these days are shite so its no big surprise they are losing money tbh.Sad,but its the way of the world.

Do I remember reading a year or so ago that Vauxhall sales where reasonable in the UK and turned a small profit. But Opel sales in europe as a whole where bad ?

Perhaps I dreamt it, but thought that was right.

Ten-some years ago they made cars for eternity but nowadays a car just a product planned for about 100 000 miles long life or so.

Could be. I think Vauxhall has always had a better image here than Opel has had in Germany. If GM were to wind up VX/Opel and with the loss of Saab as well that will leave them with no presence in Europe. Can't see it happening but the points they make about able to make the parts cheaper in another country may happen. I for one would like to see a new owner. I think it will give them more of a free hand to make the cars we really want in Europe. I feel for to long the US has messed with design and spec.

Mantahatch. Fair Oak? Many Moons ago I use to live in Horton Heath,3 doors down from the"Brigadier Gerald". Wife use to work for a solicitors in Eastliegh Square. Small word huh?

Hi Doz, Horton Heath, know it well, Fair Oak is the poor relation  Have not been in the "Brig" for about 5 years now. It is quite a family place now. Indeed small world. Used to have a female member on here who used to live in Fair Oak, believe she is now in Kent somewhere. I wonder why everyone leaves here, perhaps it's me
