Interesting times for someone who’s cash rich and looking to start or add to their car collection. Once the prices drop will cars hang around allowing people with the cash to shop about or will cars then start to move quickly? Oh and the word ‘actual’ seems to be defaulting to ‘actually’. Doubt muc...

Agree on Danny Bahr, I have met him and he is a true idiot. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: It will be interesting to revisit this thread over the months to see what pans out. Are you planning on doing any updates as the market changes take effect? I am planning a few updates as we go through the year.

Lotus would get a lot more attention and good will by launching a cf tub based update of the Elise with 350-400 bph. Basically take the Alfa 4C and do it right. The perennial "How to make a small fortune in sports cars" question*... Attention, maybe Goodwill, certainly Profit, ??? Not sur...

Happened often then? :lol: I’ve heard some stories about RR trying to keep people happy after a failure. All the time. He bought a Mercedes as a chase car to pick them up when the RR died. R-Rs never die! They may, on occasion, fail to live on. :lol: Believe me, they die and sometime try to take yo...

In the 1960s an American chap unfavourably compared R-R silver Cloud luggage capacity with his Cadillac. The R-R rep quietly pointed out that a gentleman sends his luggage on by rail. :oops: Not quite accurate. My grandfather owned a late 60's RR, the reason you send you luggage ahead by rail is yo...

The guy I knew who won the lotto never carried luggage for trips over a few days - He would courier his luggage directly too and from the hotel.

I rarely check luggage even when we fly so using a courier service........very unlikely.

Good Read, agree with SF that the colour choice certainly flatters the Senna's unique styling. To solved your road trip luggage problem I think a few ski racks between the roof and swan neck spoiler uprights should do the trick :D I think the air flow coming down around the engine bay would probabl...

Superfluous not sulfurous.. imperceivable not imperceivably, and can't see us ever not can see us ever. Just helping out, not being an arse 😁 Very good read, cheers 👍 Congratulations on being the owner of the best looking Senna I've seen ;) Appreciated, I'm using a new editor (which I hate) and the...

Well 72 points

It all depends on how Stroll wants to play it.

Time to take my original investment out?

Aston was at 2.78 back on March 27............today its at 0.7205

Never got the halo car principle!

Part of it was because Alfa used a pretty crap CF tub.

Issue with Aston was on the engines. They pushed for changes that they were given and then bailed. Screwed SCG in the process. The ACO didn't have to lower the power limit back down again to commonise with LMDh though. That screws Glickenhaus twice over running their new specially developed engine ...

Actually it was Aston that pushed for a number of the reg changes, then bailed on racing. Not impressive....... Unlikely Aston pushed for the "LMP2" Prototype class to be given equal standing with the Hypercars, it gave them a very easy "out" whatever other reasons they may have...
