I did notice it had a different front end (with an Aston-shaped grille...) but I assumed it was some variation on the Marcos from kn3 of the later licensees.

That was after a friend and I explained to him that he'd basically lucked into the pinnacle for mortals with the Trackspec Exige and pretty much everything he drove would be downhill from then on. Handful of cars later and he is still trying to recapture that magic.

Good luck that car is the dream for a LOT of people. If I wasn't stupid I'd have something like that instead of the cayman and caterham. I'm still hoping elise prices return to semi-reasonable, I'd love to swap the cayman for one.

Speaking of RTJ and the GNX: https://enter.omaze.com/buick-grand-national/ I seem to recal seeing a youtube video saying that these Omaze car raffle things are kind of a scam-- and I haven't read the details of how much of the money raised actually goes to the ACLU, but maybe it's a good cause for a slim chance to win a neat car. Edit: am I reading that right? only 15% goes to the designated charity? Enormous scam. https://enter.omaze.com/buick-grand-national/ posted:(b) Where your donation goes: For Omaze Owned Experiences, like this one, 15% of the total donations goes to the Designated Grantee(s) via a grant from CAF America. (If there are multiple Designated Grantees, then this amount is equally distributed to each). CAF America retains a small percentage of the total donations (less than 1%) to cover its own operating costs. Omaze uses the remaining amount to pay for the Experience costs, such as Prize costs, payment processing fees, and advertising to awesome people like you, and to cover our operating costs of providing and maintaining the technology and team that makes this all happen. Owned Experiences have higher costs associated with prizing and promotion, which is why a larger percentage goes to Experience costs. MetaJew fucked around with this message at 08:28 on Aug 9, 2022 |

It's kinda disappeared for now unless my social media activities aren't lining up with their bullshit sponsored ads (or my reports of them being a scam actually got noticed). They are technically 'legal' I think it the wording that they do donate proceeds, but they aren't a non-profit and take a substantial amount of the money for themselves and end up donating a token amount to RSL or something. Also LOL the last one I saw was selling off an 'Elanor' so wonder if a certain someones wife sued them over the name. Humphreys fucked around with this message at 11:52 on Aug 9, 2022 |

I take it this is the first time you've looked into a "charity" and where the money actually goes. That's actually better than average for these types of schemes. It's often an absolutely shameless single digit percentage.

Until I hear otherwise I'm just going to assume that RTJ made the same assumption most of us made about charities and that once they were informed, they'll do better next time. If I were in a band and someone said hey can you help us raise money for the ACLU I don't know if I'd ask a shitload of questions either. i.e. never ascribe to malice what can be explained by stupidity El-P "I do two things, I rap and gently caress" Killer Mike "I smoke the kush, I beat the puss" Neither of them claimed to be accountants.

I'd argue that's small time compared to Foo Fighters headlining an event for a charity that denied the link between HIV and AIDS. More like Poo Fighters imo. Their music is also mediocre, unlike this truck... https://twitter.com/atomicthumbs/status/1557168363452846081?s=20&t=NGXrZDESNn0g4cHogLSvUA speaking of trucks. a rare British one https://twitter.com/TacoTatoMustang/status/1557409759220928512?s=20&t=hSMxEfrK3rTcXCyOvuVkLw and the last version of a Golf that looked good. https://twitter.com/mikeburnsphotos/status/1556764001035583488?s=20&t=hSMxEfrK3rTcXCyOvuVkLw The Mehari is powered by a 602cc flat 2 and is capable of an incredible 62mph top speed which it gets to eventually. I'm not here to poo poo on EVs just say that I would've loved to have taken this trip in the little Citroen.  https://twitter.com/James_Walshe/status/1557456972164878338?s=20&t=QeHlGhbTCKydBiAtbIXefw Still adding to this post. https://twitter.com/CitroenCX/status/1557775912103563267?s=20&t=cdf-a4k98zQCqFsm-Zlmjw Olympic Mathlete fucked around with this message at 11:51 on Aug 12, 2022 |
