The Hamster ended up walking away with a pile of shirts!

In negotiations at the moment RE Autosport. Manifold will be there in some sort of presence, probably in with another company. Keep a look out for what some of the drivers are wearing in the live action arena! :D

I'm interested to know if Rio make much money. It must cost a fortune to run the cars in terms of maintenance and insurance. If you were in the position where you only used your supercar at weekends every now and again it would probably make sense just to hire one. You also get the added bonus of being able to swap them around.

Any idea if they do make any money?

I think that is the reason they have two different sides to Rio, they have Rio Prestige for hiring cars to Joe Public, and also have their exclusive club where by you pay a membership every year to the club RPM.

They also do tours of Scotland over weekend where those well off enough people come up and pay thousands for the pleasure of driving different cars, good hotels and food and entertainment!

All in all i think it is fair to say that Rio does make money, how much i didn't ask and don't know!

There are more than 2 sides to Rio - they are also into property, films, and investment management.
Check their website. Could explain the funding for the cars!

Cool story about the Top Gear guys - Dave didn't realise you were involved in Manifold too?

I've been meaning to purchase one of those bad boys at some point!

Get purchasing sir! Having now seen all the clothing, it is brilliant stuff, good quality with brilliant designs.

I am not involved a such, merely helping Scotty when he needs a hand! :wink:

The long sleeve tops are not only Fire Retardant, theyre breathable too!

Also, theres an extra cool element going to be added to the characteristics soon to make them anti static (reduces the risk of combustion in fuel vapour filled environments) and more hard wearing! Free T-shirt to the first person to guess the material in question correctly! :wink:
