Fortune Faded

With the current state of the world being, lets just say 'gloomy'. It truly is interesting to just sit back and look at the events unfold. From the predictible stuff such as the retrenchment of staff on a global scale (Sony: 16,000 Jobs, Rio Tinto: 14,000) to the not so Run-of-the-mill. 

Aston Martin, the supplier of James Bonds speed machines has, in the light of the global credit crunch chosen  a more relaxed tone. Rather than let the global crisis ruffle their oft-pampered feathers they felt it was a good time for the launch of a 1.8 million dollar (6.6 mil AED) super-car. The 'One-77'. Think 700 horsepower from a V-12 in one of the sexiest moulds of alluminium and carbon-fibre known to man.

 'Who would buy such an outrageously expensive car in todays day and age?' you ask. Fret not, All 77 of this limited production car are already pre-booked

*sigh*. To be rich....
