ooo-er..fancy pulling out of Spain and to a country that is so inconsiderate. Something like that?

Obviously the Business Plan supersedes (Trumps) the political bollox. Am very pleased for the NE and other regions supporting production.... :D

Not sure why partly French state owned Renault would think production in a probably no post Brexit trade deal UK subject to tariffs would be a good idea.

Have to admit the car i have now is a QQ had lots of interest from people up here because lots of people have factory QQ .Renault have done some things that are better for us like a handle on the dash which helps my wife to get sitting better as she struggles to get in and out.The new engine is a lot better.They can easily make the kadjar at Sunderland because its the same car..... same as the Capture is the Juke😊

Hi Dave, did I read correctly that you now have a Renault Kadjar ?
The comment you made on the Dash Handle I did not really understand at first, is this what you were talking about on the Middle Section ? Now that looks a nice addition I was discussing these sort of options in the US a few years back with friends for exactly the same reasons, access for the elderly, disabled etc... the problem though being Big SUV’s - Dave 🙂

DAVE BERLIN. Yes thats the handle the PHEUGOT 3008 has a similar handle we had a test drive but it was too expensive we both loved the QQ but everybody has one up here, only couple of miles from the factory and we wanted leather seats and a sun roof and i wanted a change only done 600 miles so far..that handle and door handle are both in line so its great for the wife....stay safe 😁😁😁 david
