Author: This Guy Workin' fer the Brits
Subject: Rumors re. The Land Rover/BMW marriage/divorce!

Well, I was discussing the Land Rover/BMW deal with someone who is a big BMW fan, and also works at Land Rover.

Rumor has it that one of the main reasons BMW dumped LR was that the Brits/Krauts weren't gettin' along! Supposedly people are saying that the UK still holds Hitler against the Germans, and the guys at LR were so unhappy about BMW being in charge, that BMW couldn't get satisfactory work out of the plants with thier guys in charge!

Anyway, somebody that Allegedly has some insider info told this friend of mine that when BMW sold em and moved out, the guys from LR went up to the offices where the BMW guys had been, and trashed them, throwing desks out in the street etc.

How rediculous...can't people get over this stuff? I mean, Germany is embarassed of Hitler itself, and it isn't like all Germans were Hitler, he was one man that took charge as a dictator. I just can't believe people can hold such a grudge, and cast the net so widely also.
