This is from www.sniffpetrol.com:
"2003 will be a year of massive global recession according to senior economists, and the impending financial meltdown can be attributed to one significant factor - high powered supercars. One of the first to reach this alarming conclusion was Professor Randy Frigbasket, Head of Automobiles Studies at St Bernard College in Schnorbitz, California. 'It's actually real simple,' Prof Frigbasket explains. 'In the late 1980s and early '90s we saw a raft of very high powered supercars launched; Jaguar XJ220, Bugatti EB110, Cizeta V16T, McLaren F1 and so on. No sooner had they gone on sale than the world's economy slumped. Fast forward to the present day and count the number of supercars coming in 2003: Porsche Carrera GT, Mercedes-McLaren SLR, Bugatti Veyron, Bentley Continental GT plus deliveries of the Ferrari Enzo, the Edonis and, from Sweden, something called the Koenigsegsegseg. There can be only one conclusion - the economy's f****d.'
However, before people stop blathering on about how much money they've made on their f***ing house and start panicking instead, there is one ray of hope. The British government is one of the first to take Professor Frigbasket's prediction seriously and has drawn up a radical plan to prevent these economically catastrophic supercars from ever going on sale. Under the brave new scheme each supercar maker will be infiltrated by a crack team whose sole aim is to ensure that, despite orders being taken, no actual cars will ever be delivered. The team will comprise of a range of inexperts taken from former staff at Jensen, Strathcarron and Marcos. Their collective expertise in the field of failure will be co-ordinated by beardy inventionator Sir Clive Sinclair. We rang Sir Clive for further comment but he had invented a new phone system for his house based around washing machine motors and squelchy rubber keys and it didn't seem to work properly."
