Speed....250 MPH

Cost.......£750,00

Bugatti Veron....quite a beauty...

Gorgeous pity there aren't to many places you can drive at that speed huh.

Or that price, I'd be afraid to take it out of the garage!

Someone told me that the cost of insurance was as much as the cost of the car.....that's me out then.

I get good mileage out of those carrots.................

Do you reckon it's got an MOT ?

I'd be interested in an Estate version of the Veron

Sounds like a roller skate with a Saturn V engine :driving:

What I'd really really like is an old, slightly battered 4x4! Great fun. Or another sports car! But that aint gonna happen in a hurry...:rolleyes:


Yeah, give me a 4 x 4 anyday! (without the running costs of course) great for running the emmets in their posh, shiny, I don't know the width of my vehicle off the road

D'ya know, I'm gonna post this somewhere later, but I really thought my time was up tonight...I was going to Tesco in Lowestoft for the last of me camping bits, and a whacking great 4x4 was hurtling towards me on my side of the road. I thought, hey, he'll move over once he's passed that car...hell did he!

I flashed and beeped like a loony and a shocked lookcame over the idiot's face...he missed me by inches, no exaggeration!

I parked in Tesco and howled my eyes out!:-3


Yikes! Damn 4 x 4 drivers think they own the road! :rolleyes:



I had that happen to me once in my old 4 x 4 trouble is it was an artic coming towards me.:driving:

I'm still saving up for a McClaren F1. Only another 50 years and I'll have it together if I still am.

All the McLaren would be doing is clearing its intakes of the dust from the Bugatti.


Ok. The Bugati wins on performance points.

I still wouldn't turn my nose up at the McClaren.
