Some of you may have seen this. It's a video of the Bugatti Veyron being taken up to top speed of 253 mph. Totally amazing how effortless it was on the car and driver.

And to think this work of art may be on the chopping block, after the big shake-up at top of VW...........these guys that just came over from Audi seem......(you know : the ones that produced , what some have called a "trout-mouth" version of some of the most understated and elegant road cars made today), to have a pretty low grasp of the terms "beauty", exotica, or $PEED. Because they have been power/blinded themselves into believing the only things that count are ultra conservativsm, $afety, and the almighty Euro. Just watch.....these dumb asses will try to resurrect the Phaeton , before they axe the new Scirroco, GTI, or the Bugatti Veyron.
And probably get away with it, because they will reduce the number made even further and charge a lesser number for it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)
We live in such a time of mechanical marvel, delightful, and exuberant technology, BUT, its all playing second fiddle to the green.

I say (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) , because its a foregone deal.....history.
I'm gonna archive this vid and watch it when I'm about 90 and see if anything else has come along to compare.

I am torn between (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Does anybody have 800,000 quid I can have for the next 50 years? I will give you the car when I am done with it.

That was awsome. And to think if the housing market had held out until one of the first 10 were delivered, a good friend of my fathers may have given me a ride in his. He got to the "shoe" stage and ended up canceling. As a developer he saw the end of the housing prices long before many and got out and banked everything. I guess I will just have to settle for the rides I got. Viper, Ferrari(3 different), Lambo, GT40 and scarriest of all---- BMW X5 at full tilt

Living in L.A. I see a lot of conspicuous consumption but I never thought I'd see a Veyron on the street. Well I saw one stuck in traffic on Sunset Blvd. today at the light on Sunset Plaza Dr. It was a creme color, driven by a black guy. I was shocked to see the car and didn't pay attention to the driver but it may have been Eddie Murphy. Certainly a waste of 1001 hp sitting in bumper to bumper. It was pretty nice looking even in such a bland color.

Wow, that was great.

On either Youtube or Streetfire.net, there is video of the Veyron drag racing the RUF Yellowbird. The Yellowbird didn't stand a chance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
