The germans aren't happy one bit as part of the deal for magna taking over was that no german plant would close. The government are demanding the repayment of the 1.5bn euro loan now, lol
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
