Why is it that higher end manufacturers are happy sending out cars with ropey paintwork?

Meh, same old cliched excuses don't really work anymore.
If a ford or a vauxhall can last ten years without the paint flaking and rippling then any car should.

A detail will correct most issues so isn't the end of the world but still.

Are you the same Lee Jones Jnr who works for his dad's kitchen company and used to boast on a business forum about the cars you own?

If so what was the 'very special' car you had coming that you kept boasting about?
Yes and no, I am one and the same who owns a kitchen company and am also returning to professional boxing this summer.
I also posted about cars on SPECIFIC CAR THREADS in the time out section, as I like many others, happen to enjoy cars. Unfortunately because some people didn't like my choice of cars, like yourself I dare say, a few people felt upset for some reason. I no longer use that forum as there are very few actual business people on there relative to the dozens of people who are 'just about to start the best business ever'.
The car was a McLaren. I was excited and mentioned it, I wasn't boasting. In the end I had to sell my build slot as I was too poor when the time came.
Flogging bulbs paying well?

I make no money at all, thats not my business
I see. Perhaps why the cars I had at the time bothered you? Was it the Gallardo? I forget.
I am self employed but I wouldn't be embarrassed to work for my father if he had a business.
I thought I had been quite clear about the McLaren, I couldn't afford it.

Went to the super car day for charity thingy at Dunsfold last year and my girlfriend commented on how good the paint/shine was on the Lexus LFA over that of a Ferrari Maranello I was craving !
Never seen an LFA in person. Thoughts?

The LFA sounds pretty epic, doubt I will ever even see one, pretty rare car.

To be honest the LFA and Zonda etc are a little higher end than I was meaning, I was more referring to Ferrari, Maserati, Aston Martin etc.
