At the end of the Spanish Grand Prix, the teams cars don't go home. Instead, they go to Trieste in order to take a ferry through the Adriatic in order to reach Istanbul. It's best to use this sea route, to avoid truck hijacking. However, Super Aguri's cars didn't go to Trieste nor to Leafield. They're currently at the Honda factory in Brackley.

This is a very bad sign. Unless the cars depart today or tomorrow to Istanbul, it is unlikely that they'll reach the Turkey Grand Prix in time. According to F1-Live, the cars are in Brackley, but the transporters are waiting for the ferry in Trieste.

About the offer of the Weigl Group, Honda is very reluctant about accepting it, because the German group is only willing to give enough money to make the team survive until the end of the season, with no projects for the future. The meeting between Super Aguri and Honda on Wednesday was inconclusive, so they'll meet again next week. The Honda board seems furious with the failure of the deal with Magma, but they won't abandon Super Aguri yet.
