@AutoPap Take your pick from profit taking from Stock Market, Gold, wealth transfer across generations, capital exiting Real Estate etc etc. Oh and let's not forget the greater fool theory.
@westminstertory So, if I understand correctly, groups can protest and force closures of Pall Mall but woe betide the RAC Motor Week and Veteran Car Run.
@LUDENClassics As a great admirer of the Merak, will be fascinated to follow your "journey." Incidentally, did you consider going for a certain blue one that hasn't found a home for ages?
@AutoPap On a slight but related tangent, some of the recent Retromobile auction results were gobsmacking, as are recent surges in values of F355, 458 Speciale etc. My theory is recent crypto / metals / equity gains are being recycled into these cars. No CGT to boot...
@AutoPap@TheDanProsser Thing is most people don't want to hear that. Much like property dross on tv where money value of time is conveniently ignored. Media knows people like being told they can make money with little effort.
@Codie_Sanchez Sadly that description increasingly matches London of today. Still can't bring myself to join the mad rush to get the " last train home" though...
@LUDENClassics Classic Maseratis seem to be increasingly "undervalued" compared to the more obvious manufacturers. I guess the name doesn't mean much to buyers in their 30s/40s. Love the Kmansin but would be a brave buy!
@GalvinGreg @harrym_vids Genuine question for you Golfjunky - have you ever spent a week on a working farm with livestock?
I invite you to do so and then let us know what you think..
@LUDENClassics Agreed but aren't auctions funny things. The CSL could have been bought for less at Goodwood 2 weeks ago and Bonhams can't tell you if it is matching numbers...
@LUDENClassics Loved that Merak and was very tempted. Not being a mechanic, the idea of buying one at auction feels very risky. You don't really know what you are getting...
@thesamparr Did the Banjul Challenge (aka Poor Man's Dakar) in a Jeep Cherokee and loved it. For something truly unique, how about the world's last true road race #lacarrerapanamericana
@beckymbarrow@BBCr4today This isn't just about Manchester United. It is about our national sport being sold out to highly inappropriate owners. For the milliions of football fans, that makes it a big and relevant story.
@AutoPap Having previously lived in Argentina through proper crises, my lesson was to tune out from the sensationalist (and frequently misleading) headlines and to quietly ignore the policies of the day. Then get on with your own life and do the best job possible...
