The Gaydon site , which is situated north west of the village of Gaydon , Warwickshire, UK, is one of the engineering centres of Jaguar Land Rover and the location of the headquarters of Land Rover . The site houses a design, research and development centre and extensive test track facilities and is used for the design and development of Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles. The site, along with the smaller Aston Martin facility adjacent, occupies the land that was once the RAF V bomber base of RAF Gaydon . The Heritage Motor Centre is also located on the site. History By the middle of the 1970s, the government had closed RAF Gaydon. In the late 1970s British Leyland purchased the site to convert it into a vehicle development facility, and proving ground and it became the headquarters of BL Technology BLT . In 1980 BLT awarded a GBP 2 million contract for the construction of a wind tunnel there. ref name TheTimes cite news title McAlpine Contract date 11 November 1980 work The Times ref The ownership of the site passed, along with what was by then called the Rover Group , to British Aerospace in 1988, and subsequently in 1994 to BMW. In 2000, the site was included in the sale by BMW of the Land Rover business to Ford. Ford, which at that time also owned Jaguar Cars and Aston Martin , established the new Aston Martin headquarters and design, development and production facilities on the site, and started to use the Land Rover facilities for some Jaguar work. When Ford sold Aston Martin into private ownership in 2007, the Aston Martin facilities on the site were included in the deal, the remainder of the site continuing to be occupied by their, by then, integrated Jaguar Land Rover development operations.

Flexible carpooling is carpooling that is not arranged ahead of time, but instead makes use of designated meeting places. It seeks to replicate the informal slugging slug lines that form in Washington DC , Houston , and San Francisco , by establishing more formal locations for travelers to form carpools without advance contact. The essence of the systems is the use of a meeting place to form carpools, without any advance contact between the participants. For people wishing to carpool, going to a meeting place is a very low effort method for getting into a carpool, compared with any other system that involves contacting potential riders or drivers in advance, and arranging the trip. Of course, the key is that other people are also coming to the meeting place, and there need to be sufficient people traveling from any one meeting place to the common destination so that the waiting time to form a carpool is acceptable.
