Check this out. Interesting analysis of the GB sportscar business. The focus is mainly on Aston Martin, but some insights into the PW & NS eras in Blackpool.

At a recent McCains (the chip people)conference we were told that 3 sure fire ways to lose money were
1- Fast women
2- Fast cars
3- growing potatoes (little strange as that is what they want us to do!)

So, I guess the spuds are gonna have to go

I've long realised that all my passions are terribly bad for me and will no doubt kill me eventually..
But hey..Better to have lived and cost you a fortune than be the richest man (or girl) in the graveyard!!

They are wrong, it is fast women and slow horses. Don't know about the spuds.
My TVR's have given me more pleasure in life than most things so sod the money.
