I am planing to go to this at earls court probably on the Nov 17th, to have a look at the M14 if it is there, but mainly to go see the Gumpert Apollo. Anyone else going?

I thought Micknall said that the M14 wasn't going to be there on here some time ago?

Would hate you to go just for that and then be dissapointed.

Edited to add: Yep - said it here www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=206405

I looked at them...then looked at the ground clearance. They're slightly on the low side. As in hard to get it over some white lines...

That said it moved along nicely at FOS and when it was working, it sounded like it meant business.

Too right. £320K now down to delivery miles examples @ £250K and lower. Totally shocking!

I was in the Prospect of Whitbey and the "Kid" last night and had lunch in Il' Bordillos today. All very nice.



Back on thread though, with the prices of these cars doing this, do you think we will have seen the end of ultracars being built.

What will happen to prices in the next 10 years. Surely a "00k Carrera gt will not ever dip much below that?

You should time it to come down for a wapping drinks Greg! The Kid is the normal venue.

People said that about supercars in the 80s and yet they are still being made! This ultracars tag is pure guff though!
