How to ruin a great Sports car company

[andy]

Sell it to a Russian lad for 15 million, he then closes the manufacturing plant down and puts it into receivership, but he keeps all of the best bits of the company, only trouble is that he lost the rights to the company name with the plant (Plonker), so he then has to buy back the manufacturing plant for in excess of 10 million just to get the company name back, still what's money when your dad is a super rich Russian banker.

Now the best bit has just happened, he's sold the whole company to the yanks.



Glad I sold mine and bought some Surfs.

No it's not been sold to a large company, just a couple of guys who will sell most to the USA, we will get a few to play with.

Very true, but that was years ago, they have improved since then.

It's a shame that Al Melling didnt buy the company, he got out bid by the Russian.

I hate having to scroll down boring threads then back up again to go home. Sort it please. Or sell it to a Ruskie.

Get a mouse with a scroll wheel, and use the back button.

What's boring anyway.
