RE: Suggestion re the forum trolls...21 May 2020 14:36
Hi Littlepost,
I’m not in the habit of checking this forum much anymore tbh.
But I’ve zapped skier and angusscott. It’s fairly clear that they hack off the majority of the forum. It’s the total inconsistency of what’s written that annoys me. Contradictions everywhere.
I don’t like to massively state what I think is going to happen because just like everyone else none of us really know. We work with the best we’ve got. It could of course go either way, but I’m seeing more positives hence I’m invested long-term. Yes COVID could strike back and that is my biggest fear re Aston going to the wall and yes 2 x negative quarters is a cert and so a recession is a given. (It ain’t going to be easy and don’t expect the sp to go to dizzy heights!) However your typical Aston customer is a high net worth individual, so orders tend not to take too much of a battering. Stroll is a clever chap who’s heavily invested and he’ll be working his arse off to get this going. Opening of new factory in Wales last December for the DBX SUV diversification. (that’s what saved Lamborghini) shows they are fully invested for the long term. F1 plans. (Mercedes engine etc) The Bond movie. Toto Wolf buying in is interesting, Geely who own Volvo and majority stake of Lotus still wanting to come back in. (hearsay I know) And then there is the strength of one of the most iconic car brands in history.
Asides of the obvious financial incentives for us all it would just be lovely to see a wonderful brand survive. So I hope those of us on here for the long term have a hand in making that happen and if so we’ll all get a nice little recoup ourselves.
