Sounds to me like they don't know what the hell they are on about. The CEO puts the kybosh on it one day, the next day a subordinate says its still a goer. WTF.

Well they haven't stopped testing G8s anyway... There was one with test plates etc. on it heading up to the Black Spur today. And by the way, on the upper parts of the Spur today was plenty of snow. People were making snowmen at the Dom Dom Saddle picnic grounds on the Spur, lol.

I have read a couple of the more recent pages, what is the fate of the camaro concept? (chevy) you know the one thats been coming for the last 5 years or so I think that vehicle is a stunning looker I think it will be a shame to not see it on the roads.
Sorry if this has been covered somewhere

that's purely because of size and industry though...
in terms of energy generation from 'renewable' sources such as wind and hydro they are world leaders. |

$26,000.000 div by 150 individuals = $173,333.33 a month or $43,333.33 a week or $8,666.66 a day on average! What a rort! Maybe this is amongst some of the toxic debt they are trying to remove from their books. |
