Actually Honda these days isnt the mighty force it was in the 60s. Its still fookin huge, but its run by accountants not engineers any more. Im reliably informed.
I would argue that BMs "M" engines are pretty good.
Oh and Mercs engines are built in Northampton.

Not exactly what Ive heard. AN wanted to be tech director. PH is 50% of WGPE, so that was never going to happen. RD offered him that opputunity, and naturally he took it.
