Jaguar Bus?
The Birmingham Post reports on future transport issues, as seen by Professor Alan Wenban-Smith from Urban & Regional Policy Consultants, Phil Davis from Regional Transport Partners and consultant Kate Cooper.
They suggest that global over-capacity and high costs should lead the car industry to investigate new opportunities, and suggest that Jaguar Land Rover’s engineering expertise and Birmingham’s over-reliance on cars should lead to a natural solution - public transportation.
The big question: would a Jaguar bus be quicker than a Greyhound bus?
Complete Classic Minder
I’ve often toyed with the idea of buying a region-free dvd player to enjoy those movies and shows that are not available in North American format. The purchase has become more likely with the announcement of the release of Classic Minder : The Complete Series in Region 2 (UK) format on March 16 … less than six weeks away!
Everything Terry and Arthur, from “Gunfight at the O.K. Laundrette” to “The Long Good Thursday” including the 1985 tv movie “Minder on the Orient Express” (featuring the lovely Amanda Pays!) for a total of nearly 85 hours … it should be a “nice little earner” for Fremantle Home Entertainment.
Jaguar Credit Search
The Economist has an interesting article about Jaguar’s need to build a direct relationship with a bank now that it no longer has Ford Credit for its lending needs. The article also talks about government funding and the greening of Jaguar cars being linked to Jaguar’s future.
