Bristol minus Chrysler?
Apparently not only are the big three making cars that their
customers don't want and unwittingly produced what Bristol owner's
do, but they are also paying their workers $20 ($69 an Hour!!!!)
more than other car manufacturers in the States like Toyota, Honda,
VW etc. The US Senate thought it would be helpful to the situation
if they took an appropriate drop and made that a condition of a bail
out. The Unions couldn't agree, they being a far sighted lot, as are
our own, so now it sounds as though they are still going to be
bailed out, but with money intended to save the banks. Nobody wants
to see thousands out of a job, but it does seem unfair on other more
responsible companies when all are finding it extremely hard.
Bristol is like Morgan and can hoover up an engine from anywhere,
although it probably won't do what counterfeit Morgan manufacturers do
in the NW of the States and fit their cars with Japanese Pick up truck
engines and drive trains!
