Guess what I found out in reception at work today....
(note this is'nt a photo where I work cos I'd be frog marched off site in an instant)
Caparo
there here to demonstrate all the Caparo related companies and what they can offer. very interesting actually.
But on closer look at the car there are a few things that dissappoint you, (bit like F1 cars really)
.
Dunno, is it one of those wooden chairs in the background? 
Weird isn't it. When it was first "launched" they said £50,000 and it had a hard top, like the orange one in the photo above. At that
stage I was willing to remortgage my house or sell a kidney to get one.
But now, the white one that they gave to Top Gear and 5th Gear etc to test drive doesn't have a roof and costs 1/4 million. All of a sudden it
makes no sense at all.
I might as well just stick with the Indy!

I wouldnt knock the interest factor at work and would jump at the chance for a good gleg but every time i remind myself of the price and the grief
they have had testing them it sure makes the Ultima a whole better proposition.
Bringing out a car in that price point in such a strange economic time must be a recipe for disaster.

Description
A quarter of a million for an undriveable car ( if Jason Plato can't drive it, then I'm sure I can't) on which the floor starts to
come off when you take it on a track (or it catches fire).
I wonder if you get to keep the fifteen blokes it took to get it running?
A nice ferrari/porsche/lambo, a Radical for trackdays and 100k change will do me.
Who are they selling these wastes of petrollium to?
Cheers
