MG and Land Rover were both owned by BMW, but BMW sold them off, retaining only the (profitable) Mini range. Land Rover is now owned by Ford, as is Jaguar, so both are ultimately in American ownership. Although I believe that the Rover-MG Group is British, at least.

Then again, give me a Ferrari anyday. (Please ...)

Just call me Jeremy.

Good explanation, Durfuiniel. As someone who prefers to be late to bed and late to rise on holiday, I find the whole sunbed thing intensely irritating, whichever nationality is responsible.

Now, back to the topic at hand. I'm from England, in case anyone hadn't guessed already.
