@advocate1973:
Agreed PIF are not idiots. But if you look at spending rate, dept and payables, would you say this RI brings enough money in to turns things around? I am still not buying back in.. I want to know more and waiting for Q3 report and probably Q4 as well. Lowering dept is a necessary step, but it changes very little to how much money goes out each month. In the meantime little money comes in. Waiting for DBX numbers in Q3. Besides some specials DBX has to carry the company until those 2023 models, and unfortunately DBX is not selling like they wanted.
Because PIF are not idiots I expect there is more going on..more moves to come.. With Geely now things get interesting..

@c26:
- That 200M dept pay off might only be a first start? I mean we have no real insight in that.. Could be there will be a 2nd step? Otherwise Stroll and AML lied to the shareholders, misleading them before the RI.
- As I said before, the way Stroll publicly commented on the Geely 1Bn investment offer told us he wants to benefit privately. Now they got a warm welcome and its only the first step..

And this time they got a warm welcome from Stroll...

@c26 & @stille: but Toto his amount was disclosed right? I am on holiday atm, forgot under what name it was.. If it was disclosed they should have also updated on when he got out right? Same as with Investindustrial att.

@Stille: are you sure or guessing about Toto? Because his % was above a certain level they had to disclose it. But it was never shared he lowered his % which I think should be disclosed because his holding was above that % ? I have searched for it a couple of weeks ago in the regulatory news posts.. Looking back on when he got in, if he is still holding he is not happy..

Its a good ride, too bad its fugly.. both interior as exterior.. Hoping they will follow the design direction of the DBR22 on future cars..

Well these messages aged well.. Sorry chaps..
My GF ownes shares, anyone here can catch me up?

In other companies when times are though it is frowned upon when directors pay out big bonuses to themselves, keep spending on luxury trips etc.
Now I think we can all agree that AML was (and might still be) in a though situation. They really needed the PIF and RI money..
Still, despite their financial situation, they spent 30M a year on the sponsorship of the AMF1 team, privately owned by Stroll.
I am genuinely interested in your opinion on this deal.
- Do you think having the AMF1 sponsorship outweighs the 30M per year costs?
- Should Stroll have given a discount during AMLs difficult times?
- Was this deal already set in stone when Stroll saved AML?
- 30M per year is not that much on their total balance?
- Should this deal never be allowed given the position of Stroll as Executive Chairman and privately owning the receiving party?
- Should AML benefit when Stroll sells the team?
- Any experts on brand exposure here? F1 is big, exposure is big, but the AMF1 performance is not the best.. Does it matter? Still good for the brand?

@AML_007: Nice, did you dress up funny?

@MaverickD: we can all see the charts and numbers.. We dont need you to post about that..

@JppJ: I think he tries to talk like Yoda (the Star Wars character).

@Doyezee: Lucid? PIF is their biggest shareholder, Invesco also has shares.. PIF got their stake in AML for a bargain btw..

@Richard: Totally agree. Question about that era: Was it Investindustrial who pushed for the IPO? I wonder if they made good money on AM or not.. They sold a big portion after the IPO but the rest was sold in 2020..

Thanks Richard, forgot about that part.

The Nebula project was based on three mid engine models: Valkyrie, Valhalla and Vanquish.
Valkyrie: 150 x 2.5M + AMR Pro 25 x 3M + Spider 85 x 3M = 705M pounds total.
Valhalla: 999 x 700.000 pounds = 700M Pounds (more when you add options) + Valhalla spider, I mean if there will be a Valkyrie spider there will definitely be a Valhalla spider.
Vanquish: not sure if they are still planning to built it, it was 2025, around 300.000 pounds and no limited production. + Add another spider version. + multiple years of sales.
5 billion might be on the high side, but if you add spiders and full spec cars etc you come close..
Of course the 150M claim is based on all of that at maximum prediction and production.

@C26: Really? Thanks.. Could you re post it? I'll try to find more info elsewhere.. Why is that not discussed more here? That is a huge setback for the company.. I think most here thought the court cases were still going.. If they are not and now this counter suit that is a pretty big problem for AML.

@C26: where can we read that AML lost those court cases? I missed that, I thought they were still going on..

@C26, the timing is interesting..

Did anyone else notice the famous Aston Martin grill shaped screen behind the steering wheel?

There has already been said a lot about this here on the forum. If you care you can read it all in older posts you lazy ....
