RE: Tech meetings

I wish. I always get that question. I work at a gear box manufacturing plant which primarily manufactures gear boxes for jet engines. Rolls-Royce plc doesn't even make the cars anymore. In "1998 Rolls-Royce Motor Cars was sold by Vickers to Volkswagen, although BMW hold the rights to the name and the marque for use on Rolls-Royce cars, having acquired the rights from Rolls-Royce plc for £40m in 1998. BMW will take over responsibility for Rolls-Royce cars from the beginning of 2003." http://www.rolls-royce.com/history/timeline/default.htm
