Rolls Royce off the market



In regard to recent posts about VW possibly acquiring RR.  This came from
today's WSJ:

"Vickers agreed to sell its Rolls-Royce Motor Cars unit to BMW for $572
million in cash. The German auto maker outbid Volkswagon and a investment
group comprised of British Rolls-Royce enthusiasts, but the winning price
was lower than analysts' forecasts. "

With any luck BMW will spend so much time on RR and Land Rover, it may
forget its bread and butter performance sedans.  Just a hope.
