LOL Thanks for the kind words, I'm actually pretty good at it.

LOL I'm sure YOUR mind went somewhere but probably not where I was.

Basically Tata Motors (Indian company) purchased Jaguar, a British company as one would a British raand. (Forgive me if that's a vulgar term...my Hindi is a little rusty. lol )

The irony of an Indian company purchasing the darling of Britain is what I suppose one could call poetic.

I wish they could do something like that to Apple, and give me a 20 buck iPad. I'll be happy

Actually, TATA is a very aggressive company. Their business model is top class. They knew they could tap on to the cheap mindset of Indian car drivers, and they came up with the nano. Incredible business strategy, and of course I say it coz I'm a shareholder

Britain is an aging ex-supermodel. She may have been prime and yummy in her centerfold years, but we all know how that works She's even crossed her MILF years hehe.

You can goof Hindi up all you want, coz frankly, I can't speak one coherently constructed sentence

I don't know if I'd put it that way, but I agree with your premise. lol Although their currency looks a whole lot better than ours right now.

Absolutely. And people laughed and made all kinds of rude comments when they didn't go with the Euro. Right? Who's laughing now.

Another reason ( if one were needed at all) why it makes sense to play to one's core competency - all new age talk of going outside your comfort zone notwithstanding.

JViello, you almost remind me of My Cousin Vinny.
