WHILE I was in an airport waiting lounge, waiting to fly Sett Class back to the UK, I overheard a conversation relating to Jimmy Ellison. Allegedly, the now familiar with the back of the MotoGP grid star has £500,000 worth of backing for the 2007 season. That's some cash, but perhaps not as much as Luis Cardoso. No-one quite knows what he's doing in the GP paddock, it's a mystery as large as "What really happened the night Diana died" and "Has anyone ever been surprised by a Kinder Surprise?"
So, with this whopping £500k, The Badger thought about how fellow badgers would go about investing this cash, so here's The Badger's Top 5:
THE CAR Koenigsegg CCX£312,000
Bright Orange with Diamond Stitched Black/Orange Interior. Hi Fi/Sat Nav System, Reverse Camera, Tracker. The guiness world record holding supercar with a unique soundtrack and apperance is unlike any other car ever produced - just the doors are a work of art! Fully prepared using Zymol Vintage wax.
Everyone needs a nice car. You don't get much flasher than one of these bad boys.
THE HOUSE Acton Close, Ings Road, Hull£55,950
It's a beautiful freehold house in the picturesque village of Hull. Two bedrooms, one bathroom and two reception rooms. Plenty of space for entertaining. There's even a driveway and a shed, colour matched to your lovely new motor.
THE BIKE Voxan VB1£12000
An opportunity to acquire a very rare "Limited Edition" Superbike No 25 of 30 machines designed by Glynn Kerr and hand build by Boxer Design of Toulouse, France.
For the times where the car's in the garage being serviced. You need a little run around.
HOLIDAY HOME, Florida£99,000
Brand New 2006. Ready to move into now. Located in Spring Hill, Florida in Beautiful Berkley Manor Subdivision. 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath, 2 car garage, Formal Living, Formal Dining, Family Room with Breakfast Nook on Corner Lot. No neighbors to the left (no build zone). Includes 1 year builder warranty and 10 year Bonded Builders Warranty.
A little place in the sun. Minutes from the beach. 55 minutes to be exact.
THE CHANCE£21,000
With the remaining £21k, you can buy 14033 Euromillions lottery tickets. You never know, that £100 million jackpot might give you a little more cash to flush down the toilet. Or sponsor some more nearly-were, could have been if it weren't for this little problem, racers.
