Now that America has failed its National IQ Test I suppose a lot of investors will be getting a bit over cautious about who they get involved with.

A commercial group of companies intends to manufacture 'new luxury sports cars'.
To get the production started, they have £9,970 available.





Do the auditors keep a straight face when they write this stuff?


...............................................................


I can remember reading somewhere, that the payment for design, development and manufacture of the prototype TVR, was about £13 million.

Do you recall that figure being mentioned?

13 mil for a plastic car with a crate engine? This has been a piss take from day one… what was the point of it all though?

No Jon, I don't think I have ever seen the true cost of the car. Edgar did say that the ABS/T.C. by Bosch would cost up to £1m and the airbags wont be a lot cheaper either. And Gordon Murray is a class act so his price will reflect this.

You're a class act when you can sell the same thing twice ... once to Yamaha and then to Edgar smile .

Do keep me informed when Richard, it would be good to catch up. Little sausage boy needs a playmate…



He’s probably nearly as old as Beastie!

It's so mild my Broad Beans have germinated in ground outside ... Onions and Garlic coming through aswell. Carrots/Parsnips & Leeks being harvested. Spring Cabbage and Broccoli do well.
I had to buy a new freezer for last years crops, I reckon my spuds, onions and greens will last till April/May next year .

The Dafs are peeking out already, and reusing compost has an interesting side effect.

I've a tomato plant and a corgette/squash growing in the olive tree tub

There's more development on your window sill than at the mis-named TVR Developments. That must be an offence against the Trades Description Act smile

Just posted their accounts for the second year running for a Dormant Company and valued at £4.

When is this madness going to end?
