Lola gone bust :-(
Sad to say Lola have gone bust part of the problem is down to HMRC not paying R&D tax credits.

Worldwide estimate for 2012 is about 165,000 people per day
Thats 60,000,000 per year, so quite a few then
OK thats worldwide but a tiny tiny bit of that pie is worth while
Strange cos I dont know any of them either

As they said on the BBC news this morning - Lola has NOT gone bust, just gone into administration. They're still in business, but need to get
their finances under control.
They will continue until they can find a buyer, or arrange some sort of financial deal. If that fails, THEN they've gone bust.

Leasing Companies!!
Very few companies or even people buy new cars.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
