Lesley Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 (edited) I'm sorry, but a car costing £235,000 is just obscene Can anyone tell me what the Ascari can do which my car doesn't? My car can do 70 mph (and more) which is the legal speed limit so what is the point? True, I could get into Stratford in 4 mins instead of 10 but............ and it is British, but......... In some parts of the country you could buy a handful of houses for that Edited November 13, 2005 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauty-Box Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Hi, I agree, it's a total waste of money! I think it's a statement for someone rich to show how rich they are . After all a car is just a way to get from A to B. I'll stick to my vauxhall astra. Love from Rebecca and the girls. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 That's what LSH and I think too. There are better things to spend your money on than a flashy car. My little tatty Ka will do me until the wheels fall off ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 Well, I have a Rover25 and according to the Great Clarkson - the wheels might as well fall off it! I love my car but will be changing it next March - I'm still looking for British cars - now I have a list of three..... Morgan TVR and......the Ascari !!!! hmmmmm....

Leanne Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 we all know men are just very big little boys and ive long since realised Top Gear is just playtime!! spending that amount of money on a car is obscene, think of all the people not getting medical drugs through lack of funding, or all the people made homeless by all these 'natural ' disasters? it would be bought by rich people who like showing off their wealthy status, thats all. i do agree that Richard 'hamster' Hammond is cute,although a little diddy! my OH is a foot taller than me, and that suits me fine!!
