okay maybe so, but you see what i mean- people with supercars think theyre the best cos they splashed out a massive amount of money on the car,
whereas i think we are the best because we use a huge amount of time, and skill doing it.
ps. ill bet you £1.30 that that car has many, many parts made in china

The Bugatti Veyron is a true masterpiece of engineering, this alone makes it beautiful. Surely it will be some time until the shear power and
performance of this car is matched? Of course it is a statement, its Bugatti saying 'Look what we can do!'
Think you could megasquirt it?

I have to say, if I could afford a Veyron I might still want to make a car, but it would not be better than a Veyron in any respect, just different
and made by me, for my own satisfaction.
A Veyron is an incredible piece of engineering, and VW invested about £400million in it's development which is probably a bit more than Ron
Champion spent developing a book about how to build your own sports car. Every report on the Veyron has expressed amazement about how good it is -
even those who were vey sceptical about it before it was finally released.
Now, where did i put that lottery ticket.....

No, but getting the yellow line paint man back to touch up where he quite obviously missed a spot might be interesting!

Well there is now a 4th in the country!!
Popped to the bank at lunch (sutton) going past romans(exclusive car garage) there was a black slr parked on the road (was a silver one last week) on
the way and on the way back there was a burgundy enzo and a veyron which was still completely covered in white packaging, must have just come off a
lorry, but you could see the easily identifiable shape and grill through the plastic covering.

ive gotta say, the bugatti (to me) is a very ugly car, and for that kind of price, id want something a little prettier than just a status symbol... if
i remember correctly, the veyron does 0-60 in 2.6secs, the ultima does it in 2.7- so its not overly overly better on performance than a much cheaper
car- its only the top speed that is much different- which at anywhere apart from an airfield is pretty useless.
in my opinion, id much more like to look up to someone whos put in the time and effort to make a beautiful car (locost) than used a credit card to
take credit for chinese slaves. thats really why i dont understand/admire supercars any more...
(apart from i do love nobles)
U have to respect the veyrone just on the fact that they did it to show wha CAn be done, they make a los son every single one sold!
It costs some stupid amount like 800,000 but it costs like 4.8mil to build the things!
For example the stalks cost 5k each to MAKE!
(ok so i get that off top gear but im sure its true)

If its true that there's 3 the third and final one is in Aberdeen. I've seen it a few times parked up at the airport...will try and take
a photo next time I see it (as proof you understand!).....Oli.
PS.
Very cool car!
(Edit) - Not as cool as the old Bugatti in my mind....
