Trabbi as a MAJOR manufacturer ????

According to the october issue of Classic Cars, it is, but according to me, it's not...

... but Seat never run !!!  ;)
Le Mans is life, anything before and after is just waiting...

... it's not the taking part but the winning that counts !

I still think that as the Volvo didn't actually race that's a valid answer too.

How about Suzuki??

HGB - Ford are aware there are problems with the Focus but havent yet repaired all o the million they sold , so they waait unti lthe warranty claim comes in .

As the cars not mine , i dont care .

How - It just stopped in the middle of a round about for no reason and the lights on the dashboard flashed like a 1980's wham disco .

Thanks for jumping on that grenade H.  I didn't want to be too out of sorts there but I've been biting my lip for the last 10 minutes staying away from responding to that post.

Robbo are you in the Plod? They drive like that round here.

I have had all sorts of cars, Alfa, Austin, BM, Commer, Rover, Honda, Subaru, Reenault Ciroen VW you name it but none of the has ever broken down like that. I have thrashed the arses off them all. But I have never ever had a Ford. Says something bout Henrys products I guess.

After much thought, the only major car maker I can think of never to enter a car, other than provide the odd engine is VW.
Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.
