MG Rover Goes Under
As many people know I own an MG ZR. The company that makes them, MG-Rover, has been in the news a lot recently since they've just gone bust!
The UK government has been throwing money at the company trying to keep it afloat long enough for the Chinese to maybe step in and rescue it, but that still looks like it's a long shot (that will miss).
If the company folds, over 6000 people will be out of jobs (not just MGR workers but employees of many other companies that supply parts etc to MGR), and the Midlands will be hit very hard.
What's also terrible about this is that MG-Rover are no longer honouring the warranties on their cars. This affects me, and right now I don't know what to do about it! I guess I will have to phone my dealer and ask them what they're going to do - honour it themselves or get me to pay. *sigh*
