Debt free - 13 million in bank at end of Jan '09.
Annual results due end of this month when they could also release location of new sev-us factory in usa and perhaps some us orders. Good times ahead me thinks.
imho

I would prefer the 13million in my bank. It might be safer.

almoore - 15 Mar 2009 12:14 - 62 of 392

I'd prefer it too Fred but in my matress.

why the air car will make electric virtually obsolete http://www.theaircar.com

kimoldfield - 16 Mar 2009 09:31 - 64 of 392

If they could make a really efficient non-polluting air car Maestro, it may stand a chance but the majority will be using petrol as well as compressed air. There are safety concerns with air cars and maintenance costs will be substantial compared with EVs. All in all I don't think air cars will ever outdo the EV.

WHAT MAINTENANCE COSTS? please expand

"The Prince of Darkness to visit Tanfield tomorrow"

Well, it's not the actual headline but here is the real one:-

It may well produce another cog to the wheels of green motion (hmm, no don't think too hard about it!), hopefully not a spanner in the works though!

sp picking up a bit - mandelson visiting tanfield in northeast this afternoon.

tipton11 - 21 Mar 2009 09:27 - 69 of 392

I certainly hope he does visit Tan and instead of bailing out foreign companies to design electric vehicles why can't OUR money be used to BUY from British coys already making and selling them? or would that be considered charity?

What? give "the good for nothing" British management more money..you must be joking.

There is a quickly escalating amount of interest being shown in the TAN/SEV-US Kansas story, here are just a couple of items:-

Couldn't resist another 65k; if USA goes according to plan, sp could be double by this time next week. Or not! :o)

You on the same drink as cyril or a dodgey digit or are you cyril in disguise???

dealerdear - 27 Mar 2009 12:41 - 79 of 392

I've heard that one before.

Still there is no doubt that some tiddlers are starting to move so why not TAN?

Throw in SEO, AMER and a host of others and I may start smiling again!
