What use are these not so super cars?

They make boys happy when they see them parked in the street...

thats until they grow up and realise that only a very small number of people actually get to own one, and that ones who do own them are seen as people with small willies,by most of the population.

It's a myth that fast expensive cars are owned by people who can't drive or are compensating for something, I guess it makes those people seething with jealousy feel better about themselves 🙁

I have owned supercars, can drive well and have an average sized penis. I'm also single so hit me up if you want a good time fellas 🙂

$107m for a complete production run. R&D, tooling, production the lot. It isn't that much in the grand scheme of things. The limited run and exclusivity has dictated the price.

Go on then poverty enders, how will you do it.

Sack the Queen innit? Then all that wealth would be spread amongst "the people". Surely?
I think that's what I read on STW anyway.

use to swim with one of the QA bods at Aston Martin. He did say he wouldn't buy one even with the staff discount.

It's those selfless altruistic motives by the filth rich which hardly ever get mentioned.

LOL

So you are suggesting that it is a waste of money when viewed at every angle ?

That's what the checkout girl at Lidl said to me about the 65p shower gel, but, you know, I thought "f*** it...I'm having one..."

Until recently I used to work for a company where one machine would set you back $300m. Tooling for an Astra cost millions, but then they will make hundreds of thousands of them.

Ah OK, I thought you were suggesting that we should invest in affordable cars with wide appeal. Obviously not.

Time for me to sign off

At the end of the day that sort of wealth is the product not of hard work vision or ambition but by the abuse of power exploitation of others and disregard for normal morality . Remember our monarchy started with the biggest thug with the military might to kill his way to the top. So it's not hard to see a historicity acceptable way to take that wealth off them .

Time for me to sign off if we are agreeing

We will never agree...this is class warfare..!

Sleep tight!

seems as if a lot odf so called super cars also crash, and i have no jealousy whatso ever for somebody in a flash car just a face of derision and no probable chance of them being let out of a junction.

@project I don't think a lot of supercars crash, but it's usually bigger news than when some old vectra has a prang as it gives people the chance to roll out the old "ahahah that rich ass obviously can't drive" line. Human nature I guess.

Why won't you let someone out of a junction if they are in an expensive car? Sounds like a case of the ole green eyes and sour grapes to me...

.....that sort of wealth is the product not of hard work vision or ambition but by the abuse of power exploitation of others and disregard for normal morality .

It's a bit of a mouthful but that's probably worth remembering for future "traffic light conversations". It might not wipe the smug look off the **** 's face, but I'm sure it'll make me feel radical and perhaps even a tad smug myself.

I find it quite sad that a beautiful thing (IMO) like that has been badly damaged, so here's a pic of one in all its glory. 😐

I'd like to see a version of Channel 5s Big Brother programme where the wallies that buy these things get led through to an office at the back of the showroom to sign the paperwork, only instead of an office it's just a bare room with an angry bear in it..

Very interested to know how you are generating that much, please explain.

Wow! Some exceptionally pious bellendery in here today. Well done 🙄

Thanks for your erudite contribution. It's good to know someone is above all this.

Go on then poverty enders, how will you do it.

I presume none of you buy any luxury products?

Taxation's a good place to start.

1.4 million for a car, when theres poor people out here who cant afford a new bike, or a new camera etc.
POSTED 1 HOUR AGO # REPORT-POST

Now where's the rolling eyes emoticon?

You mean progressive taxation championed by Dave & George and TJ too,which is some euphemism if ever I heard one.

nah...PROPER progressive taxation...

......without clean running water or access to basic drugs.

I'm fairly sure there aren't many in this country.

And claiming that because there are people in the world without clean running water or access to basic drugs, this somehow fully justifies someone spending £1.4 million on a car, is probably the worse argument ever.

That's the best offer I've had in ages! Go on then, if you pay for the sex change, you can call me whatever you like! 😉

Oh dear god... Here we go! Some left wing bigot declaring anyone with any money is evil, cos they must have ripped countless people off to get it! There are lots of people in this world, that have good ideas, work hard, and are good at what they do and as such have been financially rewarded for it. Get over it!

I for one am glad that someone can still choose to spend their money on ridiculously expensive luxury goods if they so choose. After all, I seriously doubt anyone who has posted on this thread so far is making do with a bargain basement Mountain Bike that literally just about meets the basic requirements, rather than buying something a lot more lavish when they could afford to.

Sustainable development with all those materials and processes used to create those multiple cores and fibre optic cable..?

Yeah, but that level of expenditure is probably within a reasonable level of wealth attainable to everyone if we lived in an economically fairer world. Daft, ostentatious £1m cars will never be.

or access to basic drugs.

A bike worth more than £200 is "daft and ostentatious" to the vast majority of the public.

You are letting your prejudices cloud your views.

If we lived in a world where we all shared the wealth equally, NONE of us would even be able to afford a fairly basic mountain bike, such is the imbalance of wealth in the world.

Life's shit, deal with it. I'm just grateful I was born to this world in a developed country, where we still retain the freedom to do as we like. Your Animal Farm style utopia does not work, several countries have already tried and the result is worse corruption than before, mass poverty and a country falling to its knees economically.

that doesn't even make sense.

there are plenty of countries without the rich/poor differential that we have, which offer a far preferable social model.

Except building trails on other people's land...which is morally wrong to boot

Go on then give me 5

Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, New Zealand.

If you let me park in your drive whenever I need it and kip in the spare room when I've had a drop to much, I'll consider letting you ride through my garden

Seems like a cooperative, mutually beneficial Utopian dream

sounds more like a collection of sordid euphemisms to me..

I'm sure there was a thread about that on STW...

Is there a religious aspect to social inequality and wealth redistribution?
This thread could really get motoring then ..
