Title: RE: Tech meetings

A R&R jet engine in a car???? Cute idea! There is an urban legend about a military guy who tried

to mount a JATO rocket on his Chevy Impala (nothing so fancy as R & R). It didn't end up

very good for him. May be he should have tried with R & R jet engine.

Okay ... so you don't get a car ... do you at-least get an engine once in say 5 years ??

Same thing happens to me, I always get the question .. "Do you get tickets to all the games?" the answer is a big NO. We may get to see them on our internal cable network, but unless you are good spending ($$$$$$) advertiser tickets are unlikely .. or if you win them in a contest.

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."
