I've just had a go...fantastic tool. Bound to tempt a few more potential customers once they've had a play with it. And in the Karenable article they said they are cutting the DBX options...there look plenty to me, mind boggling. And if you're not happy with the options there, you can always go to Q.

Hi Doit. Like you say...they've got your shares so they can lend them out whether you know or not. It possibly is covered in the small print though if it was there wouldn't be any need to threaten you. It is what it is. Personally, I'm not too worried about shorters. The last time they were quite high was when the share had been at 50p for ages. Everyone suspected that Stroll was controlling the share and stopping it from rising. Someone wrote to Charlotte (I forget who it was, possibly Rob) and asked if Stroll was holding the share down. She replied that the opposite was true...he was holding the share up because it was under attack from shorters. That being the case, I am sure he'll do the same again if necessary...he wont let the shorters win. Have a good weekend mate and enjoy the F1 and football :-)))

Hi Doit. I've just read what you said about Trading 212 forcing you to lend them your shares otherwise they say they will close you account. I am totally disgusted and find it hard to believe they are so blatantly corrupt!!! There is no way I would entrust them with a single penny of my money. If I were you, I would open an account with another platform and sell any shares I hold with 212 and buy them back on the new platform. There is no way I'd be the victim of their corrupt and illegal intimidation. I would then report them to the Financial Conduct Authority. They need to be closed down. By the way, pass on my best wishes to Englangder will you mate...I hope he's OK.

I don't think this has been posted before...its a great read.

Another interesting review of the vantage f1.

And if that's true Ish, with Stroll's Lawyers fighting the case we'll get the money back and we're then in a win win situation.

I've been following what you've all had to say about this deposit theft with interest. Personally, I think it will just be a storm in a teacup for us...very quickly forgotten. Stroll is lumping the loss into this quarter which wont look great added to the interest on results day... but the city will be expecting it. I think the the most important thing to us LTHs moving forward, as Ish said, are the car sales which are improving. It's best we get the bad news over now so we are still primed for improvements in H2 when valkyrie and the DBX hybrid are released. We will also see sales from speedster coming through in volume. I thought a couple of positive from today's news were yesterday's huge sales speeding up Adeem's exit and the fact that in the long term we now stand to make even more money from valkyrie. Also, we may eventually get the £15m back once Stroll's lawyers have done their work:-))

Another DBX review. Apologies if you've already seen this.

Don't get spooked Gkerr, we've seen this pattern dozens of times before. The fundamentals are getting stronger all the time. This is just Adeem selling and lots of small holders who haven't done their research panicking and joining in which is a shame for them. It'll bounce, and over the next few years it will reward us well for holding our nerve. IMHO of course :-))

One thing I think we can all agree on, is the SP isn't moving too much one way or the other whilst Adeem has still got shares to sell. We estimate it will take until about the end of August for them to sell up. Then there is the other £15m which will be about another 3 weeks. So some time in September. We don't expect anything too major to happen with the Company before then which would move the SP too much. However, as we all know we've got the launch of valkyrie and the new DBX hybrid around about that time. So, with the major seller gone and our sales and revenue hyper boosted, that's when we should see our SP start to climb. In the meantime, we all want the same thing, so can we just work together and constructively share information (positive and negative) to help each other as much as we can. This BB would be a much more pleasant place if we could all get along :-))

Great find Vorloch...between them, Stroll and Moers have built a formidable team that just gets better and better.

I agree that a good estimate from end of Feb would be 6 months. This ties in nicely with the launch of valkyrie in the Q3/4. We just need to stay patient and eventually Adeem will be gone.

I remember reading the above article when it was first issued 10 months ago. What interested me most when reading it this time, was the fact that TM has already achieved or put in motion most of the things that Autocar listed needing doing, to turn the company around. TM really has been a busy boy.

I'm the same as you Doyezee, I've had total confidence in AML since I first bought in over a year ago. Since then, an awful lot has happened to transform the company and IMO Stroll hasn't put a foot wrong. He's undeservedly been criticised left right and centre, one of those criticisms being the hiring of Seb...another of his actions that I supported and waited patiently for it to come good. Everything that Stroll's done turns out good in the end it just takes a little time. This is still a long burner IMO and I'm here for at least the next 4 or 5 years BUT it's starting to heat up :-))

Well from that interview there's no question about It...Vettel IS BACK. He's absolutely brimming with confidence. Lance is driving really well too, so from here we should consistently score points. We can already see that the SP responds to results on the track so this is really good news for us as we move closer to H2 and valkyri and the new DBX. It looks like Stroll senior worked a master stroke again when he hired Seb...it's not just his driving skills...it's his popularity! The cameras and commentators love him...the Germans can't get enough of him...all that free advertising...all transfers into more sales further down the line. :-))

Great result for Seb. Yes he did have a bit of luck but nothing compared to all the bad luck he's had to endure over the last couple of seasons. The result was also down to a lot of skill and tactics and the car's performing much better too. And didn't the cameras and commentators love Seb and AM? We got so much coverage it was brilliant. Also, Seb looked so happy when he was interviewed...great to see. A real shame for Lance but still an awsome outcome overall! :-))

The SPis just teasing us at the moment compared to what we can look forward to at the end of the year IMO. The last 2 weeks have been really positive since we had a good result at Monaco, so lets keep our fingers and toes crossed for this weekend. The track doesn't suit us so well this weekend, but Seb certainly seems a lot more confident in himself and the performance of the car. If we can just score a few more points it could give us another boost. Then following this race, the new flexi wing regs come in which works in our favour :-))

And of course there was the Vulcan! Even before Tobias Moers came along, AML were capable of making some of the best cars in the world. Imagine what we can achieve now, with him steering the ship!

It's a shame they're not building a few more of these!
