sgnas Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 The extras in the joke are that when BMW bought Land Rover they wanted to improve quality and thought they could bring in BMW quality control. If a car is water leak proof it is also airtight ( in fact some manufacturers check new cars by filling them with a gas and have a robot "sniff" the seals for leaks). To prove the car is airtight and therefore leakproof the bmw engineers place a cat in the BMW. In the morning the cat is dead due to lack of oxygen. The next night they place a cat in the Land Rover. In the morning they check the cat and it has escaped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the morning they check the cat and it has escaped. There was a saying that when BMW bought Rover. The chief at BMW said at the final meeting and signing of ownership of Rover. That there are two mad made things that can been seen from space, The great wall of china , and the panel gaps in a Land Rover Discovery. And that is not a joke but what he said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 BMW spied on Rolls Royce(or mrec can't remember) to learn how the quality of the door shutting sound and impeccable road noise is reduced so much. they found that if you put a cat in a rolls Royce over the weekend the cat would suffocate due to the door seals etc being of the finest quality. So they put there top model executive BMW in a old hanger so no-one would see what they were up to and put a cat in it for the weekend on arrival on Monday morning the retrieved a dippy but angry cat from the BMW the technicians where all over the car looking for leeks. The CEO of Lend Rover herd about this and ever confided of the new Range Rover he instructed his engineers to carry out a similar test with the autobiography so again they found a quiet hanger so again no-one could see what they were doing and on a Friday night last thing they put a cat in there Range Rover and locked up the hanger and went home for the weekend on there return the CEO was waiting at the gate ready to see first hands the results of the test. as their unlock the hung hanger doors and the CEO rushed in through the door to see the range Rover and promptly tripped over the cat. is one version I have herd The other is they open the doors and find the cat has escaped It was some 4-5 years ago last time I told that one there is a final line but I can't remember it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
