231mpg might be a bit ott!!

Wonder what it is with unlimited gearing??


macspeedy - 11/1/09 at 06:42 PM

done

question: can it go over speed bumps?


daniel mason - 11/1/09 at 06:56 PM

done! hopefully it will beat that gumpbert apollo?


mr henderson - 11/1/09 at 06:58 PM

Can it be considered a production car? By which I mean, do they carry on making them and then hope to sell them as is the case with other production cars, or are they made to order (in which case, perhaps the competition would be a bit stiffer?)

i reckon it is production...you can buy them factory built, cant you?
done too, btw


Liam - 11/1/09 at 07:14 PM

Is it really any less a production car than that Caterham they had on? Doubt Caterham build a parking lot full of R500s and hope they sell, to be honest! In fact I'm sure even the big boys must set production levels to match some kind of sales predictions/orders, even if those predictions are currently proving a little high due to economic circumstances, resulting in actual parking lots full of unsold cars

Sure, but would you have to order it specially, or do they make them anyway and then hope to sell them? Are there any in showrooms waiting to be bought?


Simon - 11/1/09 at 07:21 PM

Done, number 111

OK then, if Catrerham qualify then I guess they should include the Ultima.

Done, no113


speedyxjs - 11/1/09 at 07:33 PM

Done 117


blakep82 - 11/1/09 at 07:35 PM

i reckon it will be on. maybe not this series, maybe not the next, but it will be. see, every series they need a car which will top the board, assuming nothing much at the moment can beat it, they need to fill with others that can currentlt top the board i reckon

has someone cross posted this to other car forums?


peteday_uk@btinternet.com - 11/1/09 at 08:35 PM

Done, 142


richard thomas - 11/1/09 at 08:48 PM

Done - 143.

I believe that there is some history between JC and the manufacturer? Think I read it on here somewhere.

Bit hypocritical for JC to do a programme on great British engineers and then ignore the Ultima......should be flying the British flag from his Ivory Tower......


nick205 - 11/1/09 at 09:17 PM

Done...150

I think it stems from a Noble/Ultima grievance and Jezza seems to have fallen in with Noble rather than Ultima.

He won't do it if he doesn't want to....it is his show after all


mediabloke - 11/1/09 at 09:33 PM

Done - 153.

It might happen...
