I'm sure I saw an annual earnings figure for Cowell broken down to something like £1.03million per week. That is an absolutely staggering amount of money - imagine buying a top spec Aston Martin on a whim on Monday and only having a million quid to last the rest of the week...

How does someone go shopping for something that doesn't yet exist?

This is Los Angeles! They'll sell the air around you and the rich would buy it!

The Porsche 918 has to be one of the most boring supercar designs yet.

I've said it before but the Carrera GT is a far nicer design; I really don't get the hubbub for this new model.

Not everyone cares about styling.

My thoughts exactly, a shiny hot rod with a businessman driving it will never look right. A hot rod needs to be well used and driven by a dirty, tatooed dude with a fag in his mouth!

That's not the hot rod's fault though, he just looks like a bell end anyway hehe .

True but it's generally high up on the list when it comes to supercars. If I had that kind of money I would be hard pressed to part with the cash unless it looks as special as it goes.
