A message to the engineers at Jaguar

Just a small story about asking British Auto makers to change their tooling...
I knew a man who had a friend that became the Triumph of America dealer mechanic of the year. His award was for him and his wife to visit the country of the cars he works on, and he happily did so. Part of that vacation was to visit the Triumph factory, and during the factory tour he asked one of the employees why this port hole couldn't be moved 1/4 inch over to make his job in America easier. The employee raged and walked out of the building, along with the rest of the factory. After a short picket lined strike lator, British Leyland finally coraled the workers together to return to the factory.
Moral of the story, dont ask a British car maker to change his ideas. He only knows better, and you can never revise perfection and automotive lust.
