YAY!

"Over 70% of MTC’s engine production volume will be exported. Over the past 18 months MCT says it has refocused its business to provide
outsourced manufacturing services to various industrial partners, with attention to emerging markets."
Anyone get the feeling "Made in China" will start being seen in v8 engine bays!
Cheers,
