Who's This?

[Swan Jnr]

Is it Ultima?

[Guest Vic & Wendy]

That was my first thoughts - the only thing to catch a GTR would be an F1

 

Vic

 

Or a certain yellow MNR ( or so I've heard )

[Longboarder]

Ultima are in Leicestershire and possibly worth a tad more than £11,000. Could it be Stuart Turner?

Stuart Taylor are advertising on TotalKitCar for 45k+ ish

[DAVE CASTLE]

Longboarder count the noughts

mills not thous!!

but, no employees, no factory???

Car builder solutions build gt cars dont they??

[Guest elwe]

Its probably Stealth Cars.

 

Most of the company description is the same as that on Stealth Cars website, a simple google search on selected phrases found the answer. They are based in Oxfordshire.

 

£11,000,000 does seem excessive.

[Longboarder]

Oh, £11 million. Can't think of anyone apart from Ultima, Westervan or Caterfield for that sort of cash. Whoever it is, they are being a bit coy. But then what do I know about money.

Had a poor day having somehow destroyed both computer hard disks last night and spent the day getting a new one and getting the computer running again. 9 hours or so loading software and searching through old backup CD's to try to salvage photos, diagrams, word docs etc. What a pain in the proverbial.

off subject but following Longboarder, Last month Lost every thing on the home computer due to a virus complete re format, Work pc hard drive failure lost every thing,then new drive failed after 1 day awaiting replacement, PDA crashed lost everything, hard reset. Today Hard drive on G5 at work has a fault, 3 years work on it currently copying images to second drive, i could be here a while....and i can feel a nasty dose of man flue coming on, probably caught it from the computers.

continuing the off topic.... but

 

 

"BOFFINS at Princeton University have proven that there are some people who should not touch a computer because they are cursed.

Curses are not something that the scientific community has mentioned a lot since the 17th century and have more or less gone the same way as the flat earth theory and people with no heads living in India.

But the Princeton boffins say there is a clear statistical reality to what help desk operator have been saying for years – some computer users are just plain jinxed.

 

According to Canada.com the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) department has confirmed there are some people who have a natural rapport with computers and there are other people who can tigger* everything even without touching it.

PEAR has tested whether people, through their consciousness alone, can somehow affect the output of various devices.

What they did is set up a computer that produced random outputs when there are no humans around. However the moment there was a hexed person sitting in front of one the machines they managed to create a small, but statistically significant, anomaly.

The researchers have no idea how they do this, the only thing they can think of is that cursed users send out a vibe that breaks the computer.

 

The vibe theory has been pooh-poohed by the information technology director for the University of Toronto's computer science department. John DiMarco said that the presence of strange anomalies in the hardware can often be attributed to the environment.

He thinks that the cursed people are the same types who live in dry houses, have long hair and wool sweaters and moan that their computer gives them electric shocks. Of course that doesn't explain how the neutral Princeton results were obtained, but it does give an good image of a typically cursed person."
