Exactly the point though surely? Good bet I’d say.

Motor power Caterham 21 for me though.
Is that a typo or a firm that I've never heard of?
Probably shouldn’t have a space. Motorpower put little V8s in those things - I prefer the look of the 21 to the 7, but only just. I have no idea whether 25k would get one though.

You could put 15 of it towards this:

and double it in 5 years time. Rarity and provenance though. Only 1 in a world where if you had 1 of the 20 made of other special Penguins you’d think you had hit the jackpot.

I can't help but look at that picture and think you'd be far better off putting your UniFi AP on a wall.

Don’t you just look at what demographic is going to be middle aged next. So late 80’s and early 90’s stuff is on fire now, will it be 90’s-00’s next? If so pinnacle* of 90’s motoring price increases has to be e46 m3, 996 (vested interest), calibra, w124 etc

It sure is! It was commissioned by a local pro musician. It is a proper custom shop one-off - the only one in existence and no more shall he built as a condition of purchase. It’s just landed from USA - the chap just bought it in to show it off and is generous enough to leave it with us for a while. Even the case is a work of art.

My what? I assumed that it was a foot pedal of some sort. That explains why it did nothing when I stomped on it.

Is the net slower on the floor?

Almost certainly a stupid question but do these sort of things get played or is ownership more to appreciate the workmanship and exclusivity? A bit like most 250GTOs I imagine.

By far the latter. This is a Maybach Exelero. This will be in a case in another case and into a bank vault soon.
