Apologies in advance if you feel Im being abrupt.. but
Oh yes, I know you're half German. You've reminded many a time of that fact continually. Good for you. I am not German, yet I have relatives in Munich, Koln and Nurnberg, most of which have been there since the 1960s.
Germany as a nation has always had a strong economy, helped along by nationalistic brands to save the German public from buying anything that is imported. They know a good brand when they see one and both Bentley & RR weren't exactly healthy when VW acquired Bentley and BMW with RR. Who can afford these prestigious brands? You?
The mere statement that you make "all W12 engines are going to be built by Bentley in Crewe," (Crewe, not Crew) begs the question to why they weren't produced there in the first place? The Germans are not interested in forming loyal, strengthening ties but rather just manufacture and to keep their costs low - after all VW were one of the first companies to recognise cheap manufacturing setting up their first factory in China in the 1980s. All other major brands shifted to the U.S including MB for car assembly.
There is also a great article online that states more about the "Made In Germany" campaign that I can explain.. "The designation “Made in Germany” is not a protected seal of quality. Nevertheless, many German people have confidence in this seal. Quality plays a prominent role in purchasing products like toys 80 %, food 70 %, kitchen appliances 63 %, cars 56 %, clothes and entertainment electronics 41 % (cf. N.N., http://www.business-wissen.de, 16/04/2012). Services and products from Germany and Switzerland are considered as unique, high quality, reliable and valuable, not only in Germany but also overseas.
The overall impression of products and services in twelve countries shows that there is a three-class society. Products and services from Switzerland, Germany and Japan are classified as excellent. USA, Great Britain, Austria, France and Italy are located in the middle class and in the worst class there are Brazil, Russia, India and China. Germany ranks among the top class with 72 % (cf. Feige et al, 17/04/2012)…."

I think a lot of people would find a mini turbo brush very handy. It's great for cleaning my car. I think Sebo recommend changing the exhaust filter every 10 to 20 bags. I would err on the lower end around 10 to 15 bags so change filter about every 20 to 30 months. Filter £17.95 plus £4 standard delivery.
