I once visited the MG/Rover factory in Longbridge, UK (soon after the purchase by Nanjing Automotive Corp. of China), and got to drive this MG beauty. Not sure what it is called, but I think it was powered by a Ford Mustang GT type V-8 engine.

Yeah I was very tempted to buy one of those when MG went belly up. They auctioned off a few out here, which went for around the $40K mark ($20K cheaper than their rrp). There's one for sale right now for $38K. So they haven't lost too much value in 10 years, & I still think they're a good collector car.

110 ft Camcraft offshore oilfield crewboat. Three 12V71 turbo main engines, 2500 gallons fuel., 60 passengers, 30 tons cargo, top speed 23 knots. Here is a photo of a smaller, but similar boat.

A new M3, a new Vette, a BMW 1000RR & a new Thruxton! Gee Chachi, those Happy Days reruns must pay bloody good residuals.
