TaTa Motors refinanced it's loan to pay for Jag Land Rover

It’s official, India’s largest Automotive company, TaTa Motors, has managed to refinance their loan that they used to purchase Jaguar Land Rover from Ford Motor Corp. The suspense is finally over! Mr. C. Ramakrishnan, Chief Financial Officer of Tata Motors, said “This transaction was concluded amidst challenging market conditions in the global credit markets and in the automotive sector. Tata Motors thanks the lending institutions for the trust reposed by them in the performance and outlook of the company.” Well said, and to that we can all share a cold glass of cheer, and be very grateful that our beloved Land Rover brand will continue to remain a prosperous company, despite an economic down turn.

We here at LROffroad.com are glad to see this, we never expected the company to go bankrupt, but in these tough financial times you can never be too certain. The fact remains, Land Rover is a great company, and shall remain that way through out the economic down turn! Happy Rovering to all, and to all a good day! Cheers!

Credit crunch effecting Jaguar Land Rover

Jaguar Land Rover has been in negotiations with the British government who could possibly be guaranteeing a large amount of loans to our beloved Land Rover product line. These negotiations have been in progress for a while now, and it seems the only problem is that the British government wants to gain too much control of the company. The British government feels it owes it tax payer’s the duty of making sure that the tax money is invested properly and that the companies who receive this money spend it wisely. However, in the governments attempt to help “Protect” tax payer’s money they could actually be making a mistake by trying to assume too much control of a company in an industry that they have no experience in.

When considering how to spend tax payer money, why not invest in a solid company who is providing thousands of jobs. Let’s not forget that if thousands of jobs suddenly disappear then the government will no longer be getting tax money from those who used to be working, and those who used to be working now spend less money, and into a downward spiral we go. Jaguar Land Rover is a fantastic company with an ever increasing future. Both companies have some great new products heading into 2010. The 2010 line up for both Jaguar and Land Rover have some of the nicest luxury vehicle’s one could dream of.

Jaguar Land Rover is a healthy viable business. Jaguar Land Rover has been and will remain a profitable business. Jaguar Land Rover made £327 million operating profit in 2007 and £310 million operating profit in the first half of 2008. This is not something that you read about everyday in some news articles. In fact, Land Rover’s real issue is not the fact that they are going under. Companies that fail do not produce profit, and Jaguar Land Rover has tens of years of positive cash flow and employs thousands of proud employees. Jaguar Land Rover is not a failing business, it just needs the British Government to guarantee loans to them so that they can refinance that loan that they took to purchase the company from Ford.

I watched a movie at a drive in from the roof of my Range Rover this past weekend!

This past weekend I went with some friends to a drive-in movie theatre out in Albemarle, NC and we had a great time watching "Wolverine" "Fighting" and "State of Play". This blog is not about reviewing the movies, even though all 3 were fantastic, it is simply to share another joy of Land Rover ownership!



Here is a pic of the festivities, that is actually my brother and sister, I took residence on my tailgate, and then 3 other friends joined us via chairs and shared space on my tailgate! Now the not so fun person to be around might be saying to himself right now, "You can watch a movie from the roof of any car!" Although this may be true, I am afraid that all other vehicle's wouldn't nearly provide as much pleasure as that of a beloved Land Rover or Range Rover. You see there is something about a Land Rover that all us loyal owner's have come to appreciate! A Land Rover isn't nearly just a fashion statement, or the best looking SUV on the road; it is a capable machine which can take you to anywhere you want to go in the world and get you there in unmatched comfort and style! On this less extreme excursion we were enjoying the Harmon Kardon 13 speaker sound system a little more than the 4-wheel drive, but the tailgate and sturdy roof realy came into play aswell!

We had a fantastic evening and if you are searching for something fun to do with your family or friends, I can definately recommend loading up a Rover full of good people and enjoying a great film from the comfort of your own car! Cheers, Happy Rovering!
