maybe 'dont let the price make you run screaming down the street'

or

'frantically call your mortgage broker'

would be more suitable?!

Would be a talking point at a show, MK or GTS or some one should do a car in that as a marketing stunt.

Could coat the Fibreglass in the Xposure (c) FILM instead may be cheeper.

After all it seems that Mr. Goldfinger was not so crazy with his golden RR.
5000£ a liter...you might as well ask 15000£,what's the difference for he who's using it anyway

Apparently its made from distilling the carapaces taken from some obscure egyptian beetle (probably quite a few of them!!)

The coffee is Kopi Luwak, I just had to google it, it sounds too rich to be true.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

When I was doing art in 6th form i got a set of watercolour paints and the blue cost 4x as much as all the others. Could have been similar to what you describe.

I don't know about the water colours, perhaps the cobalt is more expensine?

The Lapis Blue thing was more of a publicity thing by Standox, it got a lot of people talking about it, I have never heard of anyone using it except Standox who did a Merc SLK in it.
