Manganese Bronze, one of the main manufacturers of London black cabs, has signed an agreement with electric vehicle maker Tanfield to make battery powered taxis that should hit the streets by mid 2009.

This taxi is going downhill... no brakes included!

looks like a one way trip.,.

Frank Zhao and Lawrence Ang, non-executive directors of the Company, have resigned with immediate effect.

45p for me and I will BUY


And did you? They closed at 45p two days ago. And at 41.25p yesterday.

Hey Juzz - How you keeping? Not seen you around for a while.

Hi Gausie. Been doing other things. Like ebaying house contents ahead of a likely move to Herefordshire next Spring. And tootling around in a campervan. Done very little share trading - just dabbling now and then.

man after my own heart, campervaning's great, only draw back, got to wait for school hols to get away. lol Weekends down on Exmouth sea front fun though.,.

Juzzle - hope you've done the Alfa engine conversion - those old VW's take on a fabulous new persona when they get the Alfa boxer engine.

Surely for a camper van, you want VW Van with a GT3 Engine

Gausie - no such luxury. Currently using a 28 year old VW with a 1.6 engine. Got a bigger slightly newer VW van (a Compass Navigator 310RL), but old Rosie is favourite. She's for sale on webbo.weebly.com but quite likely to keep it. Both vans owned by my partner not me.

Apologies to other viewers for the off-topic diversion. Maybe I should launch a campervan thread ;o)

EDIT: And no sooner said than done. Epic is CVAN

Meanwhile no respite for MNGS. I see one highly respected trader on Robbie Burns's thread across the way considers it could go bust.

Still heading down... great short.

31p now... keep heading downwards.

Looks like sneeky buying going on here and has been for a couple of weeks.

Very risky but taken a punt.

dyor.

On a roll here.

Going like the clappers on a bad day.

Shorters closing out quickly....

gogo goldfinger

could be worth a tickle despite china deal??

So what do punters think of Financial chief leaving? (recent RNS)
Was he entirely happy with the terms he was getting (for the equity placing I hear), or was it personal, being offered a larger office and secretary at some (as yet unknown) where else....
I'm not sure about the "electric taxi" - TAN connection - but then I'm not too clear why MNGS is falling like a stone. Can it be taxi-drivers are not buying new? Surely that's nothing unusual, they keep them for some years.
Mindyou, if there is a new electric vehicle proposed and it's free of Congestion charge that would make life easier for taxis - so they might "put off" buying until they see it, judge value etc.

Any other views ? . . Seems to me this has further to fall...... oh deary.

In the pass this stock is the first to come out of a recession ? a big but.
