Though I favour the former, if you want to hedge your bets go with "Vanquishes", people do not normally complain too loudly when people say "fishes". Now you can have two or more and not worry about how to refer to them correctly. I hope this brings you some comfort.

Vanqui?) seem to be holding their value fairly well, especially compared to the V8 Vantage, which seems to be depreciating horrendously - (so much so that I'll be driving one at this rate!) so that could be a good shout. A boring but probably very sensible decision though...You only live once, Mr Rees. Contrary to what Ernst Stavro Blofeld believes! Vanquishes (what’s the plural?

Best get my head down now so I can both business and car. Having just taken a 2 hour lunch I really should stop procrastinating! Spoke to David at Oracle already :)

I know exactly where you're coming from - it's always the way with recurring billing businesses where the more you reinvest at the beginning, the faster you'll get to your revenue goal. The challenge will be whether in 6 or 12 months you still want to go for the same car, or as your revenue increases you decide to go for a better model. At this rate you'll be driving a Veyron around in 2 years!! :) http://www.oraclefinance.co.uk/ are your friends – no big cash investment, pay for the car as your earnings increase – small monthly payments and then a larger payment each year at dividend time….
