The factories are only worth 1,000 a piece. I'm just going to wait and probably buy a medium factory. Although if we are doing an auction I call dibs on being the auctioneer.no worries Winning...i'm not bidding in this one...though i will enjoy watching the bidding war...
I'm so confused right now, I'm not gonna bid any longer, for the sake of everyone's sanity.The factories are only worth 1,000 a piece. I'm just going to wait and probably buy a medium factory. Although if we are doing an auction I call dibs on being the auctioneer.
The factories are worth 2,000 all together. And @Jahgee1124 bid 5,000 cr for the Mexico factory. So if you want to match his bid you'd have to bid about 6x what the Mexico factory is worth. The U.S factory is close to it's retail price. What I'm saying is get out now while you still can.I'm so confused right now, I'm not gonna bid any longer, for the sake of everyone's sanity.
Not matching @Jahgee1124's bid for his New Mexico factory, too high for my liking and I'll do the same for the US Factory as I'd rather sit on my mountain of cr. than spend it.The factories are worth 2,000 all together.

It'd be the other way around. I'm going to run you bankrupt.Challenge me and that mountain will be gone
Like you said before. You get caught up only to fall behind again.Wait...what the Sam Hill happened?
*back a page*
Well F. Be patient, ya vultures. I gotta make sure he's out.
Like you said before. You get caught up only to fall behind again.
Only I'm a ways behind now. I'm gonna express the Blackhawk stuff while I wait for a response from him.
@chef211 ,when I get caught up and have compiled everything for Starboard, I'll get to you on the loan.
I think so.OK, DC has responded, and Blackhawk has closed it's doors as of now. Unlike RaceTech, I'm not going through with a Q4 for Blackhawk, mainly because I'm still on Q3 stuff. That said, all bids to this point are null and void. Once ALL Q3 proceeding are finished, the Blackhawk auction will begin. I will establish the opening with an itemized list and declare the auction open for bids then.
On a less business-like matter, am I the only one here NOT in school?

The Rumor Mill Magazine Issue #118 (one month ago in game time)The recent invasion of upstart companies into the global automotive ecosystem has been full of twists, turns, surprises and of course success stories. NW Engineering and Rennen Automotive in particular have seemed to play the market perfectly and come up well in the black, whereas other newcomers have turned modest profits far less than those of the two new heavy hitters.
One such company is a little Japanese firm called Tsukuba Motor Company, located near the famous circuit of the same name (but unrelated). On the one hand, this maker is perfect for this publication as they have a penchant for remained tight-lipped about pretty much everything while the other newcomers leak info at every opportunity. But on the other hand, they remain so tight-lipped that they typically evade all prying eyes. Apart from sightings of heavily modified Tsukuba Backdrafts lapping the 'Ring, there hasn't been much to go from.
Now though, the company has finally revealed some information about a concept car they'll be showing at Goodwood. All we knew before from Goodwood registration information was that it would be called the "Backlash", but details other than that were slim. Tsukuba has revealed a bit more about the concept car, saying that it would be "by far Tsukuba's most exciting model yet" and that it has "a very unique cornerstone feature not found anywhere else in the market".
We can't imagine what that unique feature would be, but we can't wait until Goodwood to find out.
By the looks of it, yes, but I'm on school holiday's so that's why I'm getting a bit more involved in this. (And why I'm starting a budding rivalry with @Brutaka in the EV market)OK, DC has responded, and Blackhawk has closed it's doors as of now. Unlike RaceTech, I'm not going through with a Q4 for Blackhawk, mainly because I'm still on Q3 stuff. That said, all bids to this point are null and void. Once ALL Q3 proceeding are finished, the Blackhawk auction will begin. I will establish the opening with an itemized list and declare the auction open for bids then.

The Motoring Insider
A few days ago, one of our trusty insiders captured a pic of the CEO of NW Engineering walking into Lamborghini's headquarters in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy, on a suspected 'business meeting' with Lamborghini's CEO along with Audi AG executives. When his personal assistant was approached for more details, she was reluctant to provide an insight into the visit. More to follow...
On another note, The Motoring Insider has an exclusive scoop on NW Engineering.
