Toyota, Honda and Nissan all have factories in the UK.
Even 'British' car manufacturers with factories here are foreign owned, eg Jaguar Land Rover (Tata Motors India), Rolls Royce (BMW Germany) and the Mini plant is also owned by BMW.
That only really leaves the Morgan Motor Company as British owned and based and they aren't a volume car manufacturer.

Times change.

True, profits beyond industrial investments and labor (unionized at least in Illinois) go to Japan to be distributed among stock-holders worldwide. No taxpayers were mugged in this transaction unless state and local governments did it.

No, that's Harley Quinn.

These guys I saw were attending an early gathering at Awesome Con in DC at the convention center near my building.

Apparently that neighborhood is lousy with these characters today.

This is what I see... IS that something on my computer or on the upload?
FTR - I've been having issues with FF freezing and having to restart the whole Kit & Kaboodle.

I think that's the photo he intended to post, focusing on the "feels like" number.

glatt · 06-17-2015, 09:01 AM

Clodfobble's brain gets it again.

We apparently felt like the hottest location in the country yesterday. Fairly hot and super muggy. The heat index got up to something like 108. Not that it's anything to brag about. But it sucks when you are walking man going for a walk in that.

classicman · 06-17-2015, 11:50 AM

No problem, I'm just on high alert with this computer.

I think it was the same here. Hard to breathe outside the air was so thick.

Gravdigr · 06-18-2015, 05:00 PM

Came out of the bar last evening and it felt like I'd walked into an oven.

Had to chew the air before I could breath it.

what in the wide world of sports is going on here?

glatt · 07-14-2015, 03:37 PM

The Beach, without the heat, sticky sunscreen, sand in the nether regions, or man eating sharks.

Gravdigr · 07-14-2015, 03:38 PM

That's one big-ass ball pit.

Izzat the same place that had the maze set up?

glatt · 07-14-2015, 03:39 PM

Same place.

It's pretty cool.

This guy was doing flips and cannonballs.
