I'd be interested to know her thoughts on the points this blogger makes about how to treat customers and even a *potential* customer:

My brother works at the Astin plant in Coventry. He had to work there for 3 years and get promoted several times before he got taken out in one, and even then he couldn't drive it. Athough he did comment he was glad of that. He got taken out by one of the test drivers for a couple of hours so he got the full experience
I am not too sure about the handmade carefully comments in the article, by all account they churn them out these days, well not in their 1000's of course but Ford has given them modern production etc...
Cheers
Cris.

....and if you want to try Russian Engineering, get a TVR!
They say AM never made a profit:
I always liked the tale about the Hollywood actor (possibly Douglas Fairbanks, I can't remember) being shown round the Aston factory and saying that, for the publicity, he should get his at cost price, and got the reply: "Really, sir, thank you very much, most of our customers pay £300 less".
