[QUOTE="Richard Turpin, post: 1150085, member: 13794"] One thing that puzzles me is how exactly Germany can afford to hold up the EU. I get that they are something of an economic powerhouse, but in recent memory (the former) West Germany has had to pump money into (the former) East Germany in order to ease and maintain unification. Then it has to carry most of the load for Greece, Italy, Spain, Romania, Bulgaria .... On top of that, I'm sure I read that Germany still pays reparations money following WW2 (to individuals rather than countries?) With the UK leaving the EU, they will lose their 3rd or 4th biggest contributor (15% or thereabouts of all contributions). I just don't see how one country can cope under such financial pressure, just by selling nice cars? [/QUOTE]
